I think in the last 3 t20 cricket world cups, they have won 2 and got a semi final in the other ?
That's an achievement so many cricketers would kill for.
This looks like a side who are somewhat washed up, but we see that happen in so many sports, teams who have achieved so much probably hang around to long, its a shame, but the next world cup next year once they clear out some of the oldies they will be back in the mix.
Oddly enough I am more worried about their 50 over team compared to their t20 and test compatriots.

Do you think after being racially discriminated by three empires, for five centuries, we don't worry about racism? We do. But I feel this is excessive by CSA. I some one not supporting a popular idea is cancelled, then I would question the motives of that movement.

the fight for racial equality is not a political movement
if that's how you view it then you are a detached, emotionless human being

If the racial equality is obtained via cancel culture, then there is no equality at all. Majority just crushing the minority as usual. That is the exact thing happening here. Unless you are detached, emotionless human being, it is not difficult to notice it either.

A person of colour from a post-colonial society doesn't need a lecture from anyone about how to think about racial equality. And a person having divergent views on Black Lives Matter isn't an indictment on their personal character.

this ain't cancel culture bro. have you thought about what has happened here?
a white player in a post apartheid team withdrew from a game because he refused to participate in an anti racism gesture. this then as a result his black captain was shoved in the spotlight and made to answer questions for de kocks actions?
what do you think his black teammates are thinking tonight about his actions?
100% it's a personal choice but if that's the path you want to go down expect consequences. if you're so strong in your convictions at least have the decency to explain to the millions watching why you don't have the decency to show solidity against racism
De Kock, who has previously declined to take a knee, said in June: "My reason? I'll keep it to myself. It's my own, personal opinion

That's less than ideal.

Lol now I really want to hear know what this "personal reason" is.

What, is their religion pro-white supremacy or something?
Is anyone surprised that QdK is a spoiled, entitled little brat who wants to make this about his own position though?

So he's big on the horn, but not on the knee.

Yep no matter your opinion on his political stance he ****ed over his team mates. I suspect their is others in the dressing room who have similarly conservative views but they manned the **** up and handled it more professionally.

There's a legitimate argument that taking the knee is just performative and does literally nothing to address racism. On the other hand it gets people mad about politics ruining their precious sports so maybe it still has value.

I am, very aware. I am not against a random man asking others to do the BLM salute. But this is CSA, who runs a quota, undermining white players who are good enough to represent their country, coming back and asking it's players to work against racism. It is bit too rich from them.
Just Imagine if Sri Lanka runs a quota system so the majority of the team are from majority religion, and asking their players to show solidarity against religous discrimination? This is a farce of that nature. My thoughts are with Koch who is being cancelled by "non tolerant" organization asking it's members to be "tolerant"
