People, black people in particular, are starting to get upset due to that Corie Van Zyl (Proteas coach) is always keeping Lonwabo Tsotsobe out of the World Cup games.
Lonwabo Tsotsobe, a Port Elizabeth born boy, is way very good to some of Proteas players. But the coach keeps on selecting the worst players compared to Tsotsobe. Taking Graeme Smith for an example, Smith has been performing poorly in the games throughout the tournament so far. But the coach keeps on counting him in, whereas there are players who eagerly want to make our nation proud!
Do not they miss the days of celebrating with Lonwabo? This a celebration for Tsotsobe's 4 consecutive wicket victory against India early this year.
Let us take our eyes back to Imran Tahir's injury on his bowling hand thumb, which resulted in Imran not playing couple of games. People were automatically claiming that Imran will be replaced by Tsotsobe as they are both excellent bowlers. Did it happen? Obviously NO! He instead was replaced by Johan Botha.
Before I fused the pen and paper for this article, I first done something which I may call a survey on 'how people see Proteas coach on the team selection for the world cup games', most of the people claimed that he is kind of like "racist".
Is South African cricket all about White people? Or what's really happening??
i understand whr u are coming from but it is also unfair for world cricket to put him in the top 20 bowlers in the world but he has only played a few games. it is also upseting to find a black ceo for sa cricket but the is only one black player in the national team. we have to question those things, we have to put a stand against those kind of issues because i in a way i do believe and know that thr are many other tsosobe's in the country some even better than him but the government of those sport people rather not look for them coz it will cost
ReplyDeleteI can hear you Sindi. Gerald majola (CEO of the SA cricket) is just the face to dodge us black ppl. Coz the decision making is of white dominance.
ReplyDeleteAgain, the number of games don't really count, what really counts is that: can a player do the job satisfyingly.
I give you my word, if they can give tsotsobe just a single chance, he would show them wonders, also show his captain Graeme, that a player MUST atleast exceed six rounds when batting!
