That's just stupid.
Ah sorry, on reflection I think I misunderstood you. I do agree that
in some cases, or at least in one case (that of D'Oliveira), not ALL
'non-whites' were not good enough. The situation was that on the
whole, the best players were picked. Today, some 'white' players are
squeezed out of their system. Then it was worse, but today it is still
not ideal. Zimbabwe was still reckoned of test status even after all
those of European ancestry were excluded. None of these situations is
ideal.
At other times Australian teams have been less than optimal due to
player board differences (1912) WSC contracts (1977-1979) and a rebel
tour (1985-1988). Still, these teams were better than I Zingari; in
other words, they were all better than club strength.

(At first reading, I thought you were implying that it is my view that
'whites' are inherently better than 'browns' or 'blacks')
