	motoring.iafrica.com sa motorsport Alfa Romeo returns to SA tracks
		And those with even longer memories will recall the stirring battles of the late ‘60s, between Basil van Rooyen in the original Alfa GTA and Peter Gough in the Meissner Escort FVA.
		In the minds of many enthusiasts the 1985 battles between the legendary Alfa GTV6s of Nico Bianco and Abel d’Oliveira, the Sierra XR8 of Serge Damseaux and the BMW 745i of Tony Viana represented the best racing the country has ever seen.
		The Alfa’s track debut also marks the major entry of LG Electronics into the sport, with the GTA showcasing LG’s latest Flatron Plasma flat-screen television display panel.

	Guardian Unlimited Sport The Gear Observer review: Basil D'Olivera by Peter Oborne
		Oborne has very interesting material on D'Oliveira's differences with Hassan Howa, president of the non-racial South African Cricket Board of Control, a rival to the apartheid-accepted, whites-only cricket body with which the rest of the world had traditionally had exclusive relations.
		D'Oliveira became a household name in the drama at the time, first by his omission from and then his inclusion in the England team for the 1968-69 cricket tour of South Africa.
		Encouraged by John Arlott, D'Oliveira came in 1960 to join the Lancashire League Club, Middleton, after a community fundraising drive to pay for his air fare.

		Neither team has anything beyond the slimmest mathematical chance of winning the Graeme Pollock Pool and thus qualifying for the final, to be played against the winners of the Basil d'Oliveira Pool at the Wanderers on Sunday.
		Once tipped as serious rivals to South Africa to win the Graeme Pollock Pool, they are now in danger of returning to their cricket besotted island home under a cloud of embarrassment.
		Zimbabwe's strength has been a betting line-up that finds runs seemingly from nowhere while the Sri Lankans have seemed unable to score bigger totals despite the presence of undeniably talented batsmen in their squad.

		Breaking news: Peter Oborne's "Basil D'Oliveira - Cricket and Conspiracy" has won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2004, beating Matthew PInsent's autobiography, which was one of six shortlisted books.
		Cracknell has never felt entirely comfortable on bow-side, despite a good deal of hard work to acclimatise quickly, and it is the loss of instinct when under intense pressure that he regrets the most about the swap (and which could have been contributory to the poor 2003 season the pair had).
		James is jealous of the 2005 Worlds venue - "I've never raced in Japan" and clearly looking forward to hopefully competing at Eton in 2006, when he confidently expects "the biggest crowds ever to attend a World Champs" (so get your holiday plans sorted now, guys).

	BBC - BBC Four Documentaries - Not Cricket
		In 1968 Basil D'Oliveira, a brilliant South African-born cricketer who had made his home in England, became the centre of a row that rocked the political and sporting establishment.
		There is incontrovertible evidence of collusion between the South African cricket authorities and the South African government; whereas in England the MCC always said they were just cricket people and had nothing to do with the government.
		His public statements were always, "I am not saying anything, I am just trying to play cricket with the best in the world." That became a fantastically powerful message, though, because it was so patently absurd that he wasn't allowed to.

		as an ageing (now aged) cricket player and cricket fan I was struck by his amazing achievements on the cricket field.
