http://www.abcofcricket.com/Article_...rt14/art14.htm NJJ Well, i agree with Pieterson. How downright patronisng to black South Africans!! :mad: Everyone is aware that many of the top athletes and sportsmen and women of the world are black. They dont need this kind of insult to get in the team. I'm sure if they are good enough they'd play. "What a game today , do you think they can avoid the follow on ? Hope not ,i think the England\welsh team are gona find it hard to sleep tonight " Commentator made a good point, saying England would be better to bat themselves rather than face Warnie on the last day |
