Once again an ex SA born sportsman has a cracker of a game.
SA born Conway smashed 90 odd against the Aussies in a 20/20 game for NZ.
Great innings which allowed the NZ team to win after a poor start to thie innings.
Bravo Conway.
What else do you expect - if you are a White you are basically discriminated against when teams election is considered - you must get past the quota system.
yip.
i used to wonder when he was playing thr lions when he'd get a pr oteas call up.
wrong color unfortunately.
Sad but true Chippo.
boet... i have so many enemies for speaking my mind.
Lucky, rugby has enough players of color being seleected on merit. So no peoblems there.
CRICKET on the other hand... not a single batsman of color is good enough to play for the proteas. We need gents that can concentrate for long.
Hamza.... we're wasting him at domestic level. He lost confidence when he was dropped from the test team. We should have persevered with him.
I still say we have 11 really good players to take us forward.
In Rickelton, Roelofsen, Bird, Ngidi, Rabada, Mulder, Sipamla (kinda), Hamza, QdK (once he finds his brain), Verreyne, and a bunch of other youngsters who i cant think of at this hour....
we have a good future.
Politics may fuck us up though.

In essence I agree with you - but the main problem remains batsmen, However, I think that Van Tonder is the dark horse in the captaincy stakes, In countries like Australia, England and especially India he would have been in the national Protea set-up when he was 20 years old.
If Markram was a certainty he would have been appointed by now.. I think that Graeme Smith did not play two years for the Proteas before he became captain. Bar for the inuy to his finger Van Tonder was a certainty to play against SriLanka,
I think that the problem with Markram is his inconsistency, He is bit a consistent performer, That is why they did not appointment him already. However, I said that Van Tonder is the dark horse in the race as captain - not a certainty. .
