The problem is that if Cricket South Africa continues to rely on their white population to pack their stands, they are going to be as sparse as the matches have been at every venue this summer, bar Cape Town. Somehow, the authorities are going to have to figure a way of selling cricket to the majority of South Africans.

If not, the day will come, say ten years down the line, when Bangladesh will have a better team than South Africa, simply because more of Bangladesh's population is interested in cricket than South Africa's.

And yes, Zainub, the West Indies have crowds that have behaved naughtily from time to time....

It was very ugly to hear people talking negatively about West Indian crowds after those incidents. It is so important to nip them in the bud.
