MAPPIPPEE,
I am sure there were issues but not sure how you are tying Amla into something sordid!
The more just treatment of Blacks was always going to take time and whatever the political issues, two of my favourite cricketers (Prince and Ntini) they had poor performances for some time, especially Prince, prior to their dropping.
We have established, and agree, that Prince should not have opened as he is not an opener and of the last 16 tests, the first 3 in that sequence, he opened and then down to the middle order.
The fact remains, his numbers were not good in his last 13 tests, if you exclude the first 3!
If Amla said I will not open then that was up to him but still do not see what negative or corrupt role Amla had in anything.
Yes, even in the absence of researching Prince fully, if we accept he was treated badly you have yet to tell me why Amla is culpable.
Amla's refusal to open, if that was indeed the case, was a selectorial issue.
SA has had Black CEOs for the longest while now!
