Probably less than 1%
But yeah, the point is there is a tiny chance England might collapse even on a flat pitch.I'm pretty sure you meant South African, but Zimbabwe have had a few .
Isn't Ashwell Prince black?
He is based on a quick bit of research. I thought he had to be.

Alviro Petersen also. I think Duminy is considered to be "cape coloured"

Cricinfo and BBC have got this one badly wrong it appears

I suspect Prince and Peterson are Coloured not Black African.

I've just watched *that* Chris Gayle interview. Easily the most entertaining thing about the clip below is imagining the offscreen slap on the wrists for the guys in the commentary box.
Their complete 180 from laughing and joking about it to "On reflection that was completely inappropriate." and "Mel is a strong independent woman, she won't have enjoyed that and the network don't approve" is truly spectacular!

Today could be more exciting than we think....or want! Nice boring draw and on to the next match will do just fine.
If SA win this, our bowlers will be furious with our batsmen, why do we have collapses like this? Or has the pitch suddenly changed? Weird.
On the other hand as someone posted on the BBC, if England get to 180+ 10 minutes before tea, maybe our bowlers can do to them, what they are doing to us.
Love it

Re: Prince and Peterson. A few newspapers and sources say they are black. I presumed they were correct, perhaps they aren't.
I thought England might make hard work of this. I still think we are safe. Think anyway, you never know for sure with England. I'm pretty sure we'll be fine.

I'd have thought that there is no chance England will make a game of this on purpose (by declaring). Ideally England want to bat the rest of the match and rest their bowlers.
Black South African you mean.
South African
ˌsaʊθ ˈafrɪk(ə)n/
noun
- 1.
a native or inhabitant of South Africa.
- 1.
relating to South Africa.
South Africans are Africans!
FYI when Prince got the captaincy the BBC and Cricinfo were calling him SA's first black captain...he's obviously South African and he's obviously African..

What's your point? The correct term is "Black African" and you attempted to correct me.
My point was just that Prince is black according to the BBC and Cricinfo themselves (and other sources) and he's certainly African(by default due to being South African) . I can call him a black African as a result. Just like I can call an English white person a white European. Or a black English person a black European.
Ok, you're talking about above. I meant to say they were saying Bavuma was the first black African to score a hundred for SA, not the first black African to score a hundred in tests. Zim have definitely had them. But my other point is that black South African (which they are calling Prince, therefore he is a black African as well) and black African playing for SA born in SA (Bavuma, therefore he is a black South African as well) are surely the same!
Let's move on as we will just keep going around in circles here I think, unless you understand my point now
Ok this read poorly at first, I've adjusted it a bit
