@Sithara007 this quota issue is really bad and I don’t understand why can’t South Africa abolish it for good, and select player’s on their merits?. Furthermore England seems to have made a stable start as they have lost only two wickets for 111 runs, and if their batsmen can build a partnership now then it could definitely hurt New Zealand chances of winning this match.

I have opposed the quote system, but there are some benefits from this. The black population in South Africa, is not much interested in cricket, but recently Bavuma made history as the first black captain. And the outflow from South Africa has greatly benefitted teams such as New Zealand and England. Even Australia has Marnus Labuschagne, who was born in South Africa. Teams such as the Netherlands are also being able to recruit South African players and improve the quality of their cricket. So in the end everything is turning out well for the sport of cricket.
