Those interviewed consider him to be an cynical manipulator of his team mates and also as a swindler.
However, the most interesting part of the documentary was an admission by Marlon Aronstam, who, according to the news report is a 'corrupt professional gambler, that the Indian Police outsmarted Hansie.
"Corrupt professional gambler Marlon Aronstam said he had advised Hansie to remain silent and not to admit that he was involved in match-fixing.
"That was the biggest mistake that he made."
Aronstam said he still believed today that Indian recordings of conversations between Hansie and professional gamblers did not exist.
"The Indian police played poker with Hansie and he folded first."
Personally I feel, Hansie was done in by his own ego. He wanted to prove how smart he was and that accounted for his admission.

Thats interesting.
But if the recordings did not exist then on what account did the Indian police question Gibbs and Boje?
The Indian police took their names before Cronje did.
The recording exists. However, the authenticity of it was initially questioned as the Indian Police made their transcribed version public.
Ali Bacher in fact was intially dismissing it saying that it was not Hansie's voice.
Later when they realised the truth, Hansie was hauled up for investigations.
Many ridiculed the police when it first came out. Later they had to sit back and admire the way they handled the issue.. Nobody at that time believed the allegations
