The Guardian from London, Greater London, England • 24

PORTS GUARDIAN Thursday March 11 1982 24 w7 distance between sides of a divided game The long Matthew Engel in Johannesburg talks with heads of South Africa's rival cricket organisations virulent opponents are unlikely to boycott their products. Howa remains appalled by it all. 'Bringing the side here was an admission by the South African. Cricket Union that they will never be able to do things in a normal way. They are doing the government's propaganda work for them by saying that sport is not political.

Sport an'd politics are inextricable. Bringing out these people is a political Howa is right in that; Pamensky right to say that his people have done their bit and that the boycott is now unjust. But it took the boycott to bring all this about, and an awful lot more still has to be done. If it has been busted because the South Africans bribed a few cricketers, mostly naive, something will have to replace it. Omar Henry, the Cape Coloured left-arm spinner, may soon win a Springbok cap but heaven help him if he falls in love with one of his team-mater' sisters.

Even for the cricketers, outside the high walls of the grounds, South Africa is still South Africa. The following day was our one-day I talked to the South African Breweries people there, because they are our main sponsors, and offered them first refusal. By lunchtime they had agreed. "The Sunday happened to be our regular board meeting. I bounced the idea off the others and they agreed.

On Tuesday night Cooke went to London and was there to meet the England players when they returned from Sri Lanka. On the Saturday the first contingent left." The Breweries' marketing manager, Peter Savory, says that they have not sponsored the tour. They merely oflered to cover anv losses and add 60,000 for the development of cricket in the non-racial sense." A recent request for assistance from Howa was deferred until the new financial year in April. With every day that passes the Breweries' decision on the tour looks smarter. There will be no losses, takings for the game in Johannesburg starting tomorrow have now passed 200,000.

Since the Breweries have a near monopoly, even the tour's most through official channels or to their players. But I said that if they refused to let us back in, they could not deny us the chance to negotiate -with the players." I have told Donald Carr (secretary of the Test and County Cricket Board) the truth all along. When David Smith and Bev Walker tried to arrange a tour last autumn he rang and asked' if we were involved and I said no, and we weren't. It wasn't a good scheme. They had been relying oa us to do everything.

Then Carr rang me again on Thursday two weeks ago and asked me about this one and I said: Yes. We are involved and we gave you notice last Pamensky had been approached by the two entrepreneurs, Martin Locke and Peter Cooke, in November. But the original sponsors dropped out and the scheme appeared to collapse. Then three weeks ago Cooke rang from London saying that he had the players. Cooke came back and wc talked about it until midnight on the Friday.

Union has done much better since its foundation in 1976. Even Howa accepts that it has done everything it could, within the law, to bring about multi-racial cricket. Everything," he said "except one thing to raise their voices against what is still wrong out here." Sports grounds are now effectively exempted from apartheid. Before the year is out the Group Areas Act and the Black Urban Areas Consolidation Art are likely to be amended to remove the last, now purely technical, complications. Cricket undoubtedly did more than its share, pulling other sports along and pushing the government.

Pamensky, who w.ent to the International Cricket Conference meeting in London last July to apply for readmission, believes that the ICC took all this in. But we felt that no country would be able to buck their government. So I knew it would have to be the players. At no stage did we try to hide tint there was a lot of money made fn.m playing in South Africa. I told them that it didn't matter if it went African Cricket Union headed, until his death last year, by the Indian Rashid Varachia successor body to the old and candidly racist organisation that used to run the spoil.

Pamensky has 24.000 members, mostly white. This figure is not in dispute. Howa's mainly non-white South African Cricket Board claims 17,000 members, a figure which Pamensky rejects. I would be surprised if they had 8,000," he said. There is no dispute about the inhu-manitarian past.

Prejudice in South African cricket pre-dated apartheid. It proceeded from the omission (after political pressure) of a Malay bowler called Krom Hendricks from the national team in the 1890s, through tha banning of Basil D'Oliveira in 1363 to an incident in the mid-70s when the Africans were invited to play in the major one-day competitions and were then told that, in the unlikely event of them winning their opening match, they would not be allowed into the next round. Nor is there any dispute that- the THIS TWO most important figures in South African cricket live 1,000 miles apart though at the moment the distance between them seems greater. Joe Pamensky is a financial consultant from Johannesburg who drives a Daimler and played a crucial role in setting up the current English players' tour. He bears an extraordinary resemblance to Clive James.

Hassan Howa is a retired factory manager from a Coloured section of Cape Town and abhors the tour. The two men have considerable regard and same sympathy for each other. They have not spoken in ages.

Alun Evans, the secretary of the Universities Athletic Union, for the last seven years, is to succeed Trevor Morris as secretary to the Football Association of Wales.

Morris is retiring through ill health. Evans, aged 39, was chosen from 187 applicants. The Wigan manager Larry Lloyd has tried in vain to tempt Bobby Charlton out of retirement. Charlton, aged 44, is a director of the Fourth Division but Lloyd still believes he could do a useful job for the club on the field. Charlton has declined gracefully.

He Park yesterday to retain the while this young genius stays at the top. The annihilation by Jahangir of Maqsood was almost an echo of an historic final, 14 years ago, in the British women's open championship. Then, a diminutive Sydney player called Beverley Johnson played the best squash of her life and yet lost 9-0, 9-0, 9-0 to the redoubtable Heather McKay. Last night, Jahangir lost only six rallies in the entire match, five of them in the second game and one in the third, when he was left standing by a classic drop shot. He made just two errors.

Jonah Barrington described the match as the rocky horror show." He said he had never seen an exhibition of such concentrated squash in all his life." The full gallery saw an unusual match, but the spectators would have left disappointed had they not been treated earlier to an exhilarat-play-off for third place between two highly creative players, Gamal Awad of Egypt and England's Gawain Briars. Awad, subjected to immense pressure by the attacking skills of the towering Briars, won in five games, reaping the reward for magnificent retrieving. Briars put the ball away enough times to win, but he also made too many unforced errors. THORNTONS ISPA CHAMPIONSHIP (Sheffield).
