Answer 2

The colonial flavor of world cricket during the 1950s and 1960s can be seen from the fact that England and the other white commonwealth countries , Australia and New Zealand , continued to play Test cricket with South Africa, a racist state that practiced a policy of racial segregation which,among other things , barred non whites ( who made up the majority of South Africa's population ) from representing that country in Test matches.
