Now South Africa by implementing the same system of racism (affirmative action) selects players who are very much substandard (Petersen, Prince, and others) and omit great players (Pietersen) purely because of their colour. The question I pose to Geoff Boycott is: Why is South Africa not banned from world cricket because of their racial system? Is it because the ICC does not have the balls to to stand up to racism in this "Politicaly Correct" World?

Fletcher's analysis of his problem touched on how low he was crouching as well as his movement towards the ball. I get the impression KP trusts very few people...
