Politics overshadow SA selection

[Richie Benauds Love Child]

Bit of a set to going in for the hosts over selection - ie who should play and what colour they should be. This should damage morale nicely. Read all about it here http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cric...ca/4075739.stm

Now lets say for a moment old "iron gloves" has to make way for the hapless Tsolekile, and, its sets precedent -will we have a similar rattle-throwing debacle a la ZIm ?

All a bit of a contrast to england, who for years have put in players regardless of colour, country or anything else for that matter. But if Butcher makes way for Key or bell or collingwood, it could be the first england team without a black player since...I dont know when. Not for a second calling ECB racist but there doesnt seem to be many young black players coming through the system, certainly compared with promising white and asian cricketers coming through.
