Cricket might be called the "gentlemen's game", but it has been anything but at times over the years.
We count down the top 20 most controversial moments in cricket history.
3. Cricket's Icarus - Hansie Cronje. (2000-02)
Hansie Cronje was the golden child.
South Africa revered Hansie, a virtuous sportsman who loved his country and religion.
He was a fierce captain and uncompromising batter. He captained South Africa in 76 per cent of his International matches, including 27 Test victories.
South Africa's golden idol came crashing down when the match-fixing scandal broke in April 2000, he confessed in June to have taken 100,000 in bribes since 1996.
Cronje had everything at his feet, including the adoration of a nation and the cricketing world. A modern-day Icarus, Cronje flew too close to the sun.
Found guilty and banned for life, Cronje, at 32-years-of-age died in a plane crash.
