God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

The Saffies were finished as soon as the quota system was introduced.  Disenfranchise the senior players and youre always kaput.  Heck,  Kallis had to leave to get a coaching job because of his colour.  There's one who you'd want in the tent,  not in the opposition's camp.

Agree on the quota system, you never see their best team now, its ridiculous how they have to top up their team with players who are not good enough, just to make the quota. You pick the best team whether it be all black, all white or a mixture based on form and only form not the colour of your skin.
Kolpak contracts also robbed them of talent having players being able to play as local players in  English county cricket, they could probably field another team with the players who left for the bigger dollars.
