State of SA
Re: State of SA
Quotas have really destroyed South African sport, so much to the extent that they are now World Champions in both Rugby and Cricket.

Re: State of SA
Can't tell if this sarcasm, but it is not remotely the same thing.
Zim force quotas regardless of talent. The players getting picked for SA are generally worthy of their spot.
Re: State of SA
I don't really believe South Africa has quota players anymore, there isn't anyone in their test xi that doesn't deserve to be there.

Re: State of SA
SA’s average over the course of the year rather than a set number of players every game is far more sensible. They can play who they want when they need a result and make up the numbers to hit the targets in less important games. Anyone operating a quota system should be following that model 
Re: State of SA
Yes, it has worked out. Perhaps we'll see an all-African XI against Zimbabwe?
