LOL..I used to write quite a few answers on Quora once upon a time. Never got many upvotes though since they were mostly answers to specific Maths problems and the like.
When traveling you should always have some form of identification. Whether it's a birth certificate/ID or passport. Not having anything is irresponsible on your side.
It is a new law/rule that came in about a year ago... caused some issues with people traveling with kids etc. But it was brought in because SA has a child trafficking problem as a doorway between Europe and the Rest of the World. SA has huge immigration control issues but it is pretty easy getting into and out of SA to Europe, for historical reasons.
While technically not their problem, normally the travel agent and/or airline tend to highlight these issues.
Of course they had their passports. Just no birth cert I think.
How many times do Indian posters even here, one of the better places online, barge into non-Indian cricket threads with an out of context reference to Indian cricket? Insecure ****s, the lot of them.
They didn't have the kids birth certificates which is identification for them. So point stands, they traveled without identification for their children which is the parents responsibility.
Kids normally don't have their own passports (at least in SA) unless traveling by themselves, they are normally registered in their parents passport until they are 16 and have to get their own. Anyway as I said earlier it is an unusual requirements and has all to do with child trafficking. (Additionally you actually need a letter of permission from the 2nd parent if the child is only traveling with one of the parents.)
No point getting embarrassed in the warm ups then going on to lose the series. May as well save the lack of warm ups excuse for when we're 13-4 first morning in Cape Town.
Nah, the series will be very competitive
Originally but because India cancelled the boxing day test(preferred playing Sri lanka again) there was no time in the schedule so we get 6 odi's instead...
