They have dropped Kallis so it creates room to have a non-white player. He has been their top player for the last decade and wonderful servant of their cricket. This is a kick in the teeth.

I get the impression that white players are not too keen on playing for SA. They are only doing it because its their livelihood. Political involvement has runined SA cricket. Get rid of Geral Majola.

I can't see why this should be a political decision. If he was dropped from the Test side maybe you could claim that, but he would probably be a crap Twenty20 player anyway. You don't get much reward for batting through 20 overs for 20 not out in this game!

As opposed to English and Australian players?

It looks like SA is becoming the new Zimbabwe; will possibly lose their test status in a few years time. It's a pity because occasionally they produce someone of talent such as KP but their politicians have too much say. Yet another cricket playing country to bite the dust.


Australia #1 in tests and one dayers and that's the natural order.

I agree. I will tell these politicians to piss off. SA cricket team should be picked on merit now that there are enough black players in the FC system. To me, SA team has been on a decline for 5-6 years and the governemnt has to take a huge responsibilty for that.They meddle too much in the selection preocess. Just look at the recent world cup. In the 15 men team, they had to have at least 7 players of colour (only Ntini and Gibbs were there on merit). Its just NONSENSE.

All other countries (selectors) have the comfort of knowing they only need to select the best.

SP, this is not the place to discuss this.

We will only be moderated here.

Try the other forum.

Probably, seeing that almost the entire Zim population have moved across the border by now.

There's probably a few white Rugby players about to take up cricket


I've prepared for the worst case scenario ...but it could be even worse than that

Some People are like slinkies. Not really good for anything but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.
