I'm pretty sure if they enforce this, the ICC will suspend the Proteas.

Yeah i think so. Its one thing to push these ridiculous policies on a provincial level, but once you try doing this to your national team, and your national team being part of a international board like the IRB or ICC, they will suspend you, its not acceptable, inside SA they can justify these retarded policies, but on the bigger stage where the ANC and Fukile doesn't have a say, they wont allow it.
If they do i will be very surprised and rather disappointed.

I think in regional school cricket that figure is 4 whities.
 
No worries! They can do what ever they want with South African sport! It became a political game and we are loosing interest faster than Zuma can run! Ask DSTV, they are loosing viewers even faster!
 
I have stopped supporting them a year or 2 ago. I'm tired of these sub standard political teams. I have no problem with anybody making a team on merit but all these quotas are making a mockery of our sport.
 
Well the anc have screwed up SA financially and ethically so now it's the sport section.
I can see a whole lot of white elephant stadiums and international side reaping the benefits of our weakness's and our good players joining them.
The anc everything they touch turns to shyte.
 
Yes, just transform the hell out of SA sports now, so we can check the box and move on. I would like to see if any focus has been on development in the last 20 odd years.

I am so tired of all the hot air transformation articles.
 
I listened to the minister, and his interpretation is that this will be aggregated over the season, so as to allow the coach to select the best team for the circumstances.
 
Promising youngsters are just going to go directly overseas on overseas university scholarship after school and end up playing for those adopted countries if they achieve.

So essentially if they have 10 white players one game they would have to have zero the next in order to average it out?

Don't see how this can be considered any better, still the same result in the end.

Dunno. But it does seem not as bad as the doom and gloom merchants would have us believe.

Still makes no sense. Assume you have in your squad two wicket keepers. One black and one white. The black keeper gets injured at the start if the season. The white wicketkeeper can only get selected if you sacrifice another white player. The same goes for all other specialist positions. Opening batsman, fast bowler, spin bowler etc.

The coach will have to be praying no first choice black players get injured or he will have a selection headache.

So in other words you have one season to get rid of most of your players and put the black players in?
I feel really bad for the good black players that worked their behinds off to make team, but yet they will also been seen as quota players.

If I was put in the team on merit I would not be happy the other six that HAD to be put in.

So on a more serious note is it so difficult to find good black players that we are forced to these tactics.
If it is not you culture or sport of choice why force it onto you?

And please don't come with the argument that they need game time or that the coach don't want to choose black players.
The coach is there to win games thus he will need to put his best players in the team now we are forced to put the best players out or on the bench while filling up required quotas.
