Even with Prince being dropped, there are still players of colour in the Saffer side....
Hashim Amla, Alviro Petersen, Imran Tahir and Vernon Philander, while JP Duminy is waiting to replace a misfiring Jacques Rudolph.

I dont care. deh have treated prince poorly all the while he has been in the side, putting pressure on him when they had balance problems and not on Amla or others.
RSA cricket is still racist, with its racism focused on blac players..keeping them out. deh want just 1 token black player in there all the time.
and idiot Smith as captain gets a break all the time in the media where blac players do not. I have seen Smith declare very unintelligently and lose a test to Oz all the while the media smoothed it over.
at the same time they gave Lara grief for everything he did.

Prince has been a very worthy player for RSA, strong, reliant, absolutely steady and dependable. yet the first time he is in a bad patch they drop him after 2 tests.
I have seen Kallis and smith have bad patches but they are sacred eh. dem 2 cant get dropped.
I suppose from my attitude it is easy to see how I feel about them..and the saffies.
maybe one day when it is cleansed I will look at Saffie cricket with some affection. not now however.
the real hurtful fact is that westindies are in no position to cut deh arse..going noweher with idiot sammy in charge.
dat hurts man

To be fair, though, wouldn't you say that Prince has been given a pretty long run, even though he's struggled with the bat in most of 2011?
I'm saying this even though I'm a big fan of Prince....
But I do understand and accept what you say about the media. Whenever a player of colour makes his debut for South Africa, the media questions his credentials. Philander is no different, and look how well he's performed!
And I won't forget how the media hounded Ntini into retiring, and for who? The media made a huge deal over Friedel de Wet, and where is he now? He's not even in Ntini's class....

look..when deh had balance problems deh made Prince open..not Amla who is a natural opener.
Amla said no but Prince could not say no.
recently deh have been making Prince bat at 6 not his natural five. if yu want to drop a player give gim adaptation problems all the time. dat can help do the trick.
for his last innings last test deh did bring him back to 5 but toolate. Lanka were on top and deh got him cheaply.
then the media started...not that he shud be dropped, but as if he already had been dropped.. or his drop was a certainty.
there are some players in dat Saffie team who are sacred, untouchable. I dont play dat way. eff the south african team
