  • The Race Chase: the Colour of Cricket Transformation in South Africa
    The Race Chase: The Colour of Cricket Transformation in South Africa Ashwin Desai Department of Sociology, University of Johannesburg [email protected] Biographical Details Ashwin Desai is Professor of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg. His latest book is entitled ‘Reverse Sweep: A Story of South African Cricket since Apartheid’. The Race Chase: The Colour of Cricket Transformation in South Africa Abstract South African cricket (re)entered international cricket in 1991, a few years before the country’s first democratic elections. A tour of India was a prelude to playing in the 1992 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. From the outset of “unity”, cricket was lauded for its transformation programme and for making a decisive break with the past. This break was epitomised by the team being called the Proteas rather than the Springboks. Despite this and on-going efforts to transform the team into a more representative one, issues of racism and racial representation have continued to haunt the game. Questions are persistently raised about racial targets and interference in selection from on high. At local level, Cricket South Africa (CSA) has now made it mandatory that franchises and semi-professional teams be obliged to include six players of colour, of whom three must be Black Africans, raising concerns about deliberate racial engineering. These apprehensions have been exacerbated by increasing calls for national teams to reflect the racial demographics of the country. This article looks at issues of race and representivity in South African cricket post- unity, seeking to probe allegations of racism, as well as how CSA has approached issues of racial representation in the form of quotas and the possible effects of this on the game.

  • “Last Zulu Warrior Standing,” a Case Study in the Cultural History of Sport
    The “Last Zulu Warrior Standing,” A Case Study in the Cultural History of Sport: Cricketer Lance Klusener, Racial Stereotyping and Ethno- branding in South Africa Benedict Carton and John Nauright accepted International Journal of the History of Sport April 2015 In a pivotal match of the 1999 ICC World Cup Lance Klusener crouched with bat in hand, ready to battle Australia at Edgbaston in Birmingham, England [told by cricketers/fans that Edgbaston suffices—no ‘Cricket Ground’ needed]. Radio and television across the world hummed with anticipation. In previous fixtures Klusener led South Africa to hard-fought victories while sportscasters regaled listeners with stories of how his hitting evoked his childhood nickname “Zulu.” His immersion in Shaka’s culture as a white boy from Natal, they said, was the secret of his prowess at the crease. During the Edgbaston semifinal he was unbeaten, “pounding Aussie bowlers with his baseball-style backlift.” By the ninth wicket, he was rousing cheerful “mayhem” in the packed oval. Zulu brought his squad level with their arch-rival but during the final over he could not achieve “His godly act.” Disaster struck, one run from elevating his team, the Proteas, to the pinnacle of cricket. Klusener stroked the ball to mid-off and 1 2 sprinted. Not watching, his partner Alan Donald was run out, leaving the match drawn and ending his country’s hopes of making the final. Despite this devastating outcome, Klusener sealed his reputation. From South Asia to the West Indies, he became the one and only “last Zulu warrior standing” in global sport.1 The all-rounder Klusener rose to glory by making “legendary bowlers Glenn McGrath, Shoaib Akhtar, Shane Warne, Wasim Akram and Javagal Srinath seem as threatening as a five year old with a sponge ball.” On “the biggest cricketing stage of the world” Klusener “had the time of his life.” Along the way he earned Player of the Series in the 1999 World Cup.2 Landing back home in June of that year, he stepped from the largest throng “ever [to] welcome back a hero” in a Johannesburg airport.
