[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 980792, member: 74121"] Maybe transformation will ruin cricket in the same way that having undersized black forwards like Beast and Bongi destroyed the Boks' chances of being competitive at the RWC, as predicted consistently by some of the enlightened souls who frequent this forum. :p I will concede I know nothing about provincial cricket in South Africa, but you cannot easily have different targets for different teams. The story quoted simply says that the circumstances will be "investigated". Whooped-de-doo! Its hardly race riots people. And as for blacks and coloured. There is a widespread sense that the darker the skin tone, the less tolerance there is from Eurasian populations. My understanding is that coloured communities (mixed black, white & asian) can be quite segregated from black ones in South Africa. I dont find it surprising that they have seperate transformation targets given that there are also targets for women and those with disabilities. [/QUOTE]
