Re: Why we all should be Happy South Africa lost!!
^ When you win three World Cups in a row thori bohat akkar toh aa hee jaati hai. That surely must be a first in any team sport. Even Brazil never achieved that kind of success in soccer during their glory days. If Australians are a bit arrogant then there's a reason for that. South Africans on the other hand try to copy the Aussies but they have very little to show for it in terms of results on the big occasions. I have never really liked them as a team but I have always admired the Aussies for their hard work, grit, professionalism and discipline. They are the benchmark for everyone and all countries should aspire to be as good as them.

^ Heard of the quota, but did not know of the inside stuff...
If its true, then it sounds pretty pathetic.
The quota system is not all that bad I suppose. I understand that merit should be the only criteria for selection and not the colour of the skin.
But then if you look at it from the larger perspective. Zimbabwe did not have the quota system and there were no coloured people in the team until some idiot decided to change the whole team...
SA has a history of racism. People who were at the helm were not above board. Hence I believe the quota system was introduced.
Cronje had a big issue witht the quota system but he had no hassles in throwing matches...
