As much as I don't like to agree, the author has a point. To the AVERAGE viewer - the one who knows little or nothing about the game - table tennis is a bit of a bore. For those of us who know the game, it's a different matter. Can the average guy on the street appreciate a well-executed 5th ball attack? A deceptive serve? The magic that was Waldner? Nope.

Yes, what can one say. Hashim Amla is just one of those cricketers and characters you only get once in a blue moon. He's humble, he's devoted to his religion and he's a wonderful example of a true sportsman. Being a professional sportsman he (like all other professional sportsmen and women get paid from large sponsorships from big companies (like Castle Breweries in the case of SA cricket). We all know that Amla doesn't ware the Castle beer maker logo on his shirt because of being a Muslim. I respect his decision and salute him for doing it, but allow me the question: How does he get paid? Does he share in the sponsorship money or not?
