Former South African fast bowler, Henry Williams has re-opened the Pandora's Box of Troubles and made startling revelations with regards the infamous match fixing probe involving the late and former Proteas skipper Hansie Cronje. Williams has stated that he and teammate Herschelle Gibbs had lied before the Kings Commission which was probing the issue at the time. He confessed that the two of them had given false testimonies to the Kings Commission back in 2000 in a planned effort to corner Cronje.
He admitted that they had lied before the commission about accepting an offer of $15,000 from Cronje to under-perform in an ODI against India in Nagpur and stated that he had done so at the behest of his lawyers. "When we testified to our lawyers what the story really was, they came up with a threat that we could be prosecuted for doing something like this," Williams told the Sunday Times.
