THATS EXACTLY THE POINT, I'm NOT saying the quota is to blame for our loss, it was our pathetic batting by Smith, Kallis, Bouch etc. I'm just saying that for to really field our strongest side for a particular match in the future, wouldn't it be better for us to have spots open for our best 11, not 5 whites, 3 coloured, 3 blacks or whatever...

That is SAs best 11!!
 
yes but feo we dont have 5 white 3 blacks and 3 coloured players

do you think if there really was a quota system that bosman WHO IS BLACK would only have played one game

quota system must suck not to include both ntini and bosman who are both black yet they got left out, so where is this quote system you speak of
 
Telemachus?

I don't understand Kemp's position. I don't know what he has done to have been included in the team. Must be some kind of butchness quota.

Telemachus got hurt, I dont think he could have contributed alot anyway, hes a standard player.

Kemp is only there coz Smithers dont like Klusener!!!
 
It had everything to do with the current number 1 batsmen in the world leaving SA to play for England.

He was never turned down!!! He just heard the word quota and gave up!!!
 
JUGGY you do know that kevin peiterson was not considered a batsmen when he left SA

you do know that he was a bowler and that we had no space for a bowler who was not that good

he went to england and developed into a batsmen,so explain to me how the quota system affected the fact that pieterson left?

Yeah Pietersen left for that reason. He was not considered here as a batsman...lol

I really don't know what to say about our top order yesterday. Does DStv show the press conferences they have after the match? If so, I'd love to hear what Smith had to say? What was our gameplan?

If he batted like he now does while in SA, he would be in the team. He didn't. He left for the UK where for whatever reason he flourished. Good luck to him.
 
Yeah Pietersen left for that reason exactly.

He couldn't bat for **** when he was here....
 
So, the post mortem has already begun i see...

Lol and they blaming the quota system...:rolleyes:
The thing is I taught it was inevitable, Smithers should be sacked and so should the stupid selectors!!!!

No quota system and we might have had pieterson...not that we want the git but players like him could have made more impact than prince
 
In the immortal words of Steve "The Stiffmeister" Stiffler: ****ers, ****ers, ****ers. Or is that Chokers, Chokers, Chokers?

I have to agree with this. As great as he clearly is now, when he left I don't think he would have made the SA side.
 
The only person whom I have issues with in the team is Prince. He never performs. Imagine if we had had Klusner in there....
 
Yeah Pietersen left for that reason. He was not considered here as a batsman...lol

Lol didnt you see it? They went out to score big!!!! They taught they could post a 300+ score, brave cricket lol!!!

The thing is, Kallis and Prince should have played a Jayawardene innings but noooo they wanted 6's!!!
 
KP's talent should have been spotted here by our talent scouts there's no denying they failed there. Guys like Clive Rice saw he had talent but that he wasn't going to be used in SA so he told KP to go to england.
 
And my superstition still stands!! No Indian in the team no WC!!
