JOHANNESBURG - Cricket South Africa faces a critical few weeks leading up to its September 5 annual general meeting, and rather than run away from the plethora of problems the organisation is facing, director of cricket Graeme Smith wants to be part of the solution.
“I think it’s been a cancer from within the organisation for a while and it’s not getting any better,” said Smith about leaks to the media. Smith pointed to critical issues CSA must confront around it’s financial state, the plight of the men’s national team - still the sport’s biggest money-maker in this country - and critically transformation, which has been top of the agenda in recent weeks.
“I was taken aback by the Mackie stuff,” said Smith. “When I played with him I certainly never felt he was a silent person. He was already one of the senior players in the side when I joined.Smith and Ntini have spoken subsequently. “We had an open discussion. We listened, we shared; there are certainly no hard feelings at all. It’s about being able to hear each other, talk to each other, communicate and find a way forward. I feel like myself and Mackie have done that.
