Cricketing Great Basil D'Oliveira is no more

Cricketing Great Basil D'Oliveira says "Good Bye" at the age of 80.
He is the one who sparked the Anti-Apartheid movement which culminated in Nelson Mandela becoming the President of South Africa.
At a time of C.I.C (Crimes in Cricket) one should remember the sacrifice he and England made in early sixties to make this world better place for everybody regardless of the skin colour.
I think Graehme Smith, the affable captain of South Africa should lead the team and beat Australia this summer and makes a dedication for this great cricketer Basil D'Oliveira.
The memory of that victory will be more emphatic then.
