The Wind of Change: The Team They Wouldn't Play

on BBC Two England

In 1970, South Africa's cricketers played their last Test match for 22 years when world opinion was mobilised against their country's racist policies. They had arguably the strongest Test team in the world and in Graeme Pollock and Barry Richards, two of the greatest players in cricket history.

This summer, South Africa play their first Tests in England for 29 years. Jonathan Agnew, former England fast bowler and now BBC Radio's cricket correspondent, visits the country to examine the effects of the boycott. He talks, among others, to their pre-boycott captain Ali Bacher, Graeme and Peter Pollock, Richards, Eddie Barlow, Mike Procter, Khaya Majola and Omar Henry.
