+xThe quota problem is another burden for SA as they are losing a lot of their talented youth to NZ, Aus and Eng.
Make up your mind. On the one hand you say above. Then you say you dont agree with me that the quota system is hurting Saffer cricket. That talented youth of which you speak include Conway and Foxcroft.? I am betting it did. Their parents probably told them if you want an international career look elsewhere as this quota system is clearly disadvantaging white Sth Africans. The poor remuneration is also having an affect if many are abandoning SAfrica for the more lucrative domestic competitions abroad. All I can say is a future for the white cricketer in Safrica is very doubtful in 10/15 years time.. I never changed my mind. Read it more carefully. You want to blame quotas for Olivier and MMorkel. I strongly disagree. Nothing to do with quotas.AbDV, Olivier and MMorkel got to the top and played despite quotas. They left for money.
Quota leavers (if that really is why - I suspect more just to get opportunity to play intl cricket) like Wagner would need a white quota to get in front of Rabada, Ngidi and Philander. Lets not ignore the fact SA are actually producing the best bowlers going around in the world of test cricket right now - black or white. Wagner would never play for SA, he's just not good enough. 1 Abbott, 2 MMorkel, 3 Steyn 4 Olivier 5 Rabda 6 Ngidi 7 Philander are all clearly better than him, Nortje probably is too.
There are two times I question the Safrican quotas and feel very sorry for SA fans, whenever Behardien and Bavuma play. This could get hairy when Amla retires. Phelukwayo is actually developing into a useful cricketer but it's taken long enough.
