Peter Roebuck watches Michaelhouse and Durban High School contest in a semi-final of a local night tournament in South Africa:
Apart from their positions as school captains, they stood out in only one respect. Both captains had brown skin. Both were of Indian origin. They have risen to the highest point possible in their school's cricket and clearly command respect among their peers ... Never forget that, not so very long ago, it could not have happened. Oh yes, and one of the youngsters is a Muslim.
