More evidence of how incompetent sport administrators are in South Africa.

It leaves you to wonder what heights we could reach if we didn't have dog and pony shows like this.

Discuss..

And now, this decision has been overturned based on a "technicality" <_<

Technicality my ass! Damn *****. I bet that 'technicality' was the players refusing to play if Arthur didn't get reinstated as national selector. Good on them I say! They wanna come fiddle with the cricket cause our soccer team hasn't been able to win a game in the last 2 African Cup of Nations, and not even scoring a goal in the previous one!

Anyway, thank goodness common sense won this one

Pathetic isn't it. I read it on cricinfo and in all the ramblings it had on there, I was still left wondering wtf? Seriously, wtf is a "technicality" in this case?

Why don't they just come right out and say "the players refused be a part of such a bullshit regime, we had to let him come back". Technicality I hate it when that word is used in these circumstances.
