Cheers.

We can discuss whatever we want barring we dont swear or ridicule.

no different than the Afrikaner v non afrikaner thread,
or the past zimbo v present zim threads etc.
I think the Black team would thump the White team all sysyems out; brilliant thread eugene. Come guys where is our sense of humour? We can afford to laugh at our colour and cultural differences; we are so far into independence now.

Dion Ebrahim didn't make the cut. I guess like Rainsford who is mixed, you could put him in the black team.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

I look forward to the day when an idea like this could be offered as a charity match.
I think it would just be another cricket match of one friend bowling against another as teammates are, regardless of skin colour.
Only wishful thinking.
