On Tuesday, Cricket South Africa (CSA) confirmed the discrimination case against current Proteas head coach and former wicketkeeper Mark Boucher has been dropped.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) on Tuesday dropped all charges of gross misconduct, including racism, against national coach Mark Boucher, less than a week before he was to defend himself in a disciplinary hearing. Boucher, a former wicketkeeper batter, was charged with racist behaviour and also faced possible sacking from the coaching post, after he was accused by ex-South Africa teammate Paul Adams for singing a song which had racially derogatory wording in meetings after matches in their playing days. However, CSA said none of the charges were "sustainable" after Adams and former Proteas assistant coach Enoch Nkwe decided not to testify at next week's hearings. The recent ruling in the Graeme Smith arbitration also fortified the conclusion that the charges against Boucher would be dismissed.
No cricket fan can ever forget the 2006 Johannesburg ODI between Australia and South Africa where the latter chased down 435 runs to win the five-match ODI series 3-2. The match witnessed such high drama that the Proteas fans were left in tears when Mark Boucher smashed Brett Lee over mid-on for a four to win the contest for the home team. Former South Africa captain Graeme Smith revisited the classic and revealed Jacques Kallis' words at the mid-innings which "broke the ice" after their team conceded 434/4 in 50 overs.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) was found to have attempted to "trap" its former director of cricket (DOC) Graeme Smith during their arbitration hearing in the matter involving Mark Boucher's appointment, which cost them its case.
Former Cricket South Africa (CSA) director of cricket, Graeme Smith, said he was pleased with the independent arbitration outcome that cleared him of all racism charges brought about by the Social Justice and Nation-Building (SJN) report.
