    I really don't know about White guys being better in cricket and black guys being better in football and rugby. Certainly not when I see Makhaya Ntini and Ronwen Williams. So I think that the black guy white guy thing is not totally right. But they do have some problems surrounding this issue. And West Indies also might not seem to be in these problems but I don't think they are completely out of it altogether.
    If blacks are inferior in cricket, then how come the West Indies team dominated test cricket scene for many decades? The issue in South Africa and Zimbabwe is different. Cricket is being seen as a relic of colonial hangover, and blacks are not interested in this sport as much as the whites. This is the real reason why the cricket board came up with the quotas. Have you ever thought why they don't need quota for the South African football team? West Indies is entirely another issue. It is a mix of regionalism and racism which is ruining the game there.

    It is absolute rubbish that black people cannot play cricket. Well, we did not say this when Brian Lara was in the pitch. I think that it is OK for people to love certain sports more than another and there is no need to force someone to like something. And it is not absolutely necessary that you have to play a black person in your team or else the team would not be great. I think anyone who says this is capping. And if it's not a cap then and they must have lost their mind.

    From where did you come our with the synopsis that only Whites can play cricket? There are legends in cricket who are black and if that was the case then these legends would not have existed. Anyone who has skills can be trained from an early age can play any kind of sports. There are so many examples out there you need to just see them.

    I feel Racism has no place in any sports and not even on this forum, because I support sportsmen based on their performances and not on their colour. Also I don’t even remember anyone ever saying look that white guy scored or that black guy took a wicket, so this is absolute garbage theory and we shouldn’t even be entertaining such theories.
