Why is it harsh and crude?

My main points is out silly rules which makes the Saffers eligible to play for us.

There is a wider issue of the degree to which they have swamped this country.

It would be interesting to hear your response.

Colin,

Sorry but I still do not see it even after rereading.

My point had nothing to do with black players rather our rules, which is fact, allowing people to play for us without an ounce of loyalty.

Secondly my comment about had apartheid been still in force these guys would be In South Africa.

Pietersen's reason for leaving South Africa was because of the quota system. He was unable to see the bigger picture.

Personally, it is now time to cease the quota system.

I would prefer the English team to have English/British/ GB players.

Anyway thanks for taking the time.
