Fighting very very high stakes Basil D'Oliveira played cricket. A quote from the man who passed away this week.
"This is a fairy tale come true. Six years ago I was playing on mudheaps. Now I have played for England and met the Queen; what more could I possibly ask?"
Oh, if you were wondering, Basil played 44 tests for England, and was the reason why South Africa was banned from cricket during the Apartheid.
I am so happy cricket is in my blood. It is such a rewarding exercise to follow a game which opens a window into such a huge spectrum of humanity.
