'A Group Of White Players': South Africa's Telemachus Reveals How The 'Big Five' Controlled Cricket
Former South African pacer Roger Telemachus has said that during his playing days, his country's cricket was controlled by a group of white players, who were referred to as the 'big five'.
Telemachus offered an explanation of how the term came into being. "That is where the big five started. They control selection. They control everything. They used to go to the coach and say this is how we are going to play. This is where we gave the name to these players," Telemachus said at the Social Justice and Nation-Building (SJN) hearings on Thursday.
