I saw him when he just started out for the Dolphins, and looks a good player. A mix of Amla/Bodi in style, more potential than Bodi though. I am very pleased for the people of South Africa's Indian community to be producing some great cricket players. South Africa, however, really needs to develop the black talent we have. Prince, Gibbs, Duminy, Telemachus do not consider themselves "black", only Ntini is black (he's Xhosa like Mandela). I think apart from Ntini, the last black players was Tsolokile and Zondeki. With a country with a 90% black population, this doent really add up. I am not, however, a promoter of the quota system. The best should always play for your nation.
I think other nations can consider themselves lucky they dont have these issues.
