The ban was imposed for a reason...to oppose racism.
What is the message these stupid people in ICC are sending to the world by granting 1st class status?
If they are granting 1st class status, then why not go the full length and grant those games international status? These ICC, BCCI etc are filled with a bunch of jokers!
I am in support of this thought that those matches should be given official status as it will be like recognizing the talent of the cricketers who played for SA at that time...We all know the class of players like Pollock Bros ..
