Lord of Lord's: Who can forget Makhaya Ntini's ten-wicket haul at Lord's in 2003? Firdose Moonda, a journalist for ESPN Cricinfo, published an extraordinary piece on January 10 about a black South African cricket player moving to England because of a lack of opportunities in South Africa. Siphe Mzaidume claims that, because he is black, he was never given an opportunity to play in the South African provincial franchise system, and therefore moved to England where he will qualify to play for the national team in June. The same article appeared in the Business Day, written by Moonda's husband, Telford Vice. Both were published widely on social network sites, including getting a retweet from Helen Zille, saying: "So sad".
