[QUOTE="Lardinho, post: 155030"] I agree, its unfortunate that the politicians want to try and add quotas. Like you said, Habana is far from quota, he would walk into any national team purely on talent and performance. Also I've seen Chiliboy play, that guy is going to become a BIG name in the future. I just hope that these plans do not bear fruition. Look at Kevin Peterson, England batsman averaging above 50 at test level, one of the best batsman in the world. He loved South Africa, his home country like any proud man would but he was told he would not be picked for South Africa due to them having to have certain quotas met he came to play for England. I am glad he is playing for us, but at the same time I feel the poor bloke should have had his chance in the land of his birth. Whilst its understandable with RSA's recent history, that the government wants to make sure that no man should be denied as a result of colour, and so making sure at least a certain percent of black players MUST be added... its working against its very nature, because now white players are at risk of being denied as a result of colour. Surely the politicians can see that black players are currently chosen on talent and not ignored, surely is working and is the fairest way. Politicians and sport don't mix. [/QUOTE]
