A picture of South Africa at last night's presentation - Coincidence?

[Varun]

Not trying to kick up a storm, but this is a team that was banned for apartheid for 20 years.

Mods - please remove if you feel this is inappropriate.

Doesnt look too pretty but i am sure they didnt intend to segregate. It just happened.

nothing just happens mate, it's all subliminal!

 

[Aman]

Yeah, that doesn't look great..

 

[Proactive_]

That just can't be by chance. Holy Sh*t

 

[Desprado123]

What is wrong? Can elaborate please.

 

[kingusama92]

Here is a picture from their series win in NZ.

 

[Madplayer]

Its just 1 picture. What about other pictures where we cant see such segregation? Thats subliminal too?

 

[hadi123]

What is wrong? Can elaborate please.

Look who is standing on one side and who is standing on the other. Took me a while to work out too.

 

[chacha kashmiri]

This reminds me of the primary school matches we had on paks against whites

Grandiose to the camera man tho, aryan supremacy at its finest

U can see why the likes of KP and Trott came to England in the first place

 

[indipper]

Nothing much wrong, you are thinking way too much. Usually, people in groupies are ordered by a factor that can be height, dress or skin color. Doesn't mean that one's bad.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

With transformation targets in place, there will certainly be some low key animosity between the whites and guys of color.

 

[Bilal7]

It looks awful but wasn't intentional. The South Africans have a great team culture and the whole squad is very close. That is why you haven't seen any hint of infighting between them.

 

[Slog]

The optics are awful

 

[coy0607]

Yikes. That’s looks really bad

We haven’t heard anything out of SA camp, so maybe it’s not as bad as it looks. But still, YIKES

 

[MMHS]

What is wrong? Can elaborate please.

Google Apartheid....

 

[jnaveen1980]

If US media gets hold of something like this whole world will be talking about it lol. I cannot deny this looks very bad.

 

[Buffet]

Coincidence here.

 

[Sherlock]

Looks bad, but don't think it's intentional.

There's others pics with the players all huddled together.

 

[DeadBall]

If Morne had switched places with Amla it could have been bowlers on one side and batsmen on the other.

 

[big_gamer007]

Hopefully was just coincidence..

 

[Syed1]

It doesn't look so good.. but I'm sure it just happened and there is no malice involved.

 

[BaankeJi]

I watched that live. Nothing intentional.

 

[RainMan_]

Looks bad, really bad.

 

[Saj]

Looks bad doesn't it.

Hope it's just coincidental.

 

[shane]

Looks bad, but probably not intentioanl - just South Africans doing things the wrong way as usual.

 

[R3verse Swing]

Clearly not intentional, just a fluke occurrence! :/

 

[Savak]

Reading too much. Mountain out of a molehile

 

[Sidilicious]

Reading too much into it.

Maharaj, next to Morne is on the right.

 

[rudra]

What about faf kissing rabada in australia test last year.
Was that a coincidence? People sell negative things but ignore good things.

 

[bala977]

It is coincidence, that's all there is to it.

Most Indians will not find it strange .... we understand and relate with the pluralism of SA's culture, as it mirrors our own. So we get that such things happen without any conspiratorial reasons driving it.

Also understand why it would be difficult for someone from a different background to get this ..

 

[Abdullah719]

Inclined to think it's a coincidence though it does look strange. Despite the quotas and all, I don't see anything to suggest there's any disharmony in the SA dressing room.

 

[msb314]

I would like to think it’s just coincidence - but you can never know for certain.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Daft thread.

SA team like any other sports team appear in hundreds of photographs every year. One by chance will look like this.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Probably a photo opp to show the South African sports committee that the quota rules are being kept up with.....most likely.

 

[giri26]

I don't think there is any disharmony in the camp. They play as a team on the field and are genuinely happy of each others success. I think this is just a coincidence.

 

[CricketAnalyst]

Daft thread.

SA team like any other sports team appear in hundreds of photographs every year. One by chance will look like this.

This is really the only answer to this sort of absurd speculations.

 

[dauntless]

Just a coincidence all of them are looking happy.It should not be making headlines.

 

[soso_killer]

I don't get the point

 

[shah_1]

I don't get the point

Segregation

You see white players on one side

But I don't it's an issue at all, happened by chance.

 

[Indiafan]

Nothing much wrong, you are thinking way too much. Usually, people in groupies are ordered by a factor that can be height, dress or skin color. Doesn't mean that one's bad.

are you serious? People are ordered by skin color? That's incredibly racist

 

[soso_killer]

Faf, Elgar, AB, Makram and QdK all play for the Titans, Ngidi being the exception. But it's no coincidence to see him standing next to Rabada having played cricket together since school days.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Media caught on to that lol Do they read PP
