Welcome to Inside Out. On tonight's programme, when renting goes wrong. | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
The private landlords refusing to put things right for their tenants. | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
Looking around, there is something under that unit. It is wrapped | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
poison. Rat poison? Running out of food, the charity | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
that offers emergency help to people going hungry in the Midlands. | :00:31. | :00:37. | |
Are you starting at times? Definitely. -- staffing at times. | :00:37. | :00:43. | |
Was like really like this? We paid tribute to the Worcestershire | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
cricketer who helped change the world. He was remarkable because he | :00:48. | :00:58. | |
:00:58. | :01:06. | ||
played his first season at 65 and Welcome to Worcester where this | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
week a memorial service will be held for the cricketer Basil | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
d'Oliveira. We will be telling his story later in the programme. We | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
would begin with news that complaints about private rented | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
accommodation in this region have hit an all-time high. It is the job | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
of local authorities to help put things right but tracing the rogue | :01:26. | :01:34. | |
landlords is not always easy. During the hard times, there is one | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
business that keeps growing, that is the private rental market. The | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
good times are always have a downside. Over the last three years, | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
the number of complaints against private landlords in the West | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
Midlands has gone up by more than 25%. Being one of the thousands of | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
unhappy tenants is not easy. Looking around, there is something | :02:00. | :02:10. | |
under that unit? It is actually wrapped poison. Rat poison?! That | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
is obviously really upsetting. With numbers of people renting are set | :02:14. | :02:23. | |
to rise by 20% in the next five years, things could get a lot worse. | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
This couple have been having problems since they moved in in | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Birmingham which cost them �400 a month. Kelly it is seven months | :02:32. | :02:42. | |
:02:42. | :02:44. | ||
pregnant. This is the partition which... It has not been finished. | :02:44. | :02:53. | |
You can see daylight. We do not know what these wires are for. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
should not have wires in a bathroom! We have also got damp in | :02:57. | :03:05. | |
here. Again, the walls is coming awake. All of the skirting is | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
coming off. The damp is reaching up to the ceiling. It is an | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
overwhelming feeling of damp that you feel as you walk around. Kelly | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
is stuck. Although the letting agent has said they can leave if | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
they are unhappy, she has not got the money for a deposit and first | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
month's rent on another property. They said they would let us out | :03:29. | :03:35. | |
early because we have been complaining. They also said in a | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
letter that it is not ideal for a child. But they know we do not have | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
the money. You have got a file thick of letters and documents. You | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
have been really fighting to try and get this sorted. Yes. But you | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
are still so -- stuck in this damp flat? You will get there. You feel | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
confident it will happen? It has been a long fight. It is obviously | :04:02. | :04:12. | |
:04:12. | :04:15. | ||
It is not dustpan ands in Birmingham have been problems. This | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
man is an environmental health officer in Stoke-on-Trent. Day-in, | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
day-out, he sorts out problems with private landlords and tenantss. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
have a work load about 45 complaints a month. What does not | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
help at this moment is the financial situation. Everybody is | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
feeling the pinch. I do not doubt that landlords are in the same | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
position and maybe it is the fact that they are not living with in | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
the property, they do not see the need and the problems directly. | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
They hope that the problem will may be just go away. But with this man | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
on the job, the problem will not go away. He is taking me to meet some | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
of his current cases. On the face of it, there does not look too much | :05:06. | :05:16. | |
:05:16. | :05:17. | ||
wrong. But the landlord has failed What is the problem with it? A few | :05:17. | :05:26. | |
things. Sockets, holes in walls. No doors. That is quite an interesting | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
accessory you have on the side of your cooker. What is that about? | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
I have got no lighting it in here. You have a socket in the middle of | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
the ceiling? And there are no internal doors, even on the | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
bathroom. No handrail on the stairs. Under the sink is broken. What kind | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
of reaction do you get when you ask him to put these things right? | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
you do not like it, go. You can find somewhere else to live. | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
that an option? Not really. not? Because I do not want to move | :06:01. | :06:07. | |
again. I have moved a few times in the past two years. I just want to | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
stay where I am. As long as he get the jobs done, it would be a nice | :06:12. | :06:22. | |
:06:22. | :06:22. | ||
house. We could get decorating. Thank you. Good luck. What will | :06:22. | :06:29. | |
happen with the landlord now? main problem is that we have got a | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
large paper trail to catch up on. I have got seven addresses. Seven?! | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
They are all interlinked. It is time-consuming and painstaking work | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
to try and track down misbehaving landlords. One of his almost long- | :06:45. | :06:55. | |
:06:55. | :06:59. | ||
running cases is this house. -- one of his long-running cases. I am at | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
your property at are arranged appointment time. Please give us a | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
call back as soon as possible. Thank you very much. It turns out | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
that the tenant has left. Not surprisingly. It is quite a unique | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
property and that the alterations inside are so dramatic. It is | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
beginning to look like a rubbish dump. There is no actual division | :07:23. | :07:31. | |
between living spaces, kitchen or bedrooms. It is all open plan? | :07:31. | :07:38. | |
Everything is totally open plan. What was he using as a wall? He has | :07:38. | :07:48. | |
:07:48. | :07:48. | ||
used and the remnants are here. 25 millimetre Installation Board. -- | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
insulation board. His palette is part of his stairs. Part of his | :07:55. | :08:05. | |
:08:05. | :08:08. | ||
des?! To get the right level on the stairs he has inserted palates in | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
order to make a different height on the staircase. It is quite unique. | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
It has all been tied together with string at the back. Extraordinary | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
does not even begin to cover it. Have you seen anything like this | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
before? Never. I do not think I will ever see anything like this | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
every game. Nor do I want to, to be quite honest. At my estimation, | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
there is probably a bit -- possibility in excess of 30 dozen | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
pounds of repairs required just to make the house habitable. -- | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
�30,000 of repairs. Cases like this are rare. Over 50% of rented | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
accommodation meets the regulations for home standards. The majority of | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
landlords are doing their job. Bob Kelly in Birmingham, the | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
situation goes on. Her and her car at -- partner have left their flat | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
with their three-month old girl and a living in temporary accommodation. | :09:06. | :09:15. | |
How do you feel about way you are now? Can they do and our old house, | :09:15. | :09:23. | |
this is good for us! It is a lot of better -- compared to our old house. | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
We have forgotten about all the problems. What about the | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
possibility of going back? I will not go back. Simple as. What advice | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
would you give to people who need somewhere to live and are thinking | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
about renting from a private landlord? What would we say to them | :09:43. | :09:49. | |
-- what we do say to them? Go and check it out before. Watched that | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
people do not take advantage. We had no way to go. We signed the | :09:55. | :10:04. | |
contract. They took advantage of us. Sound advice from one of the 86,000 | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
tents back complaint last year about their rented accommodation. | :10:07. | :10:17. | |

If you are looking for a place, Like a rooftop over our heads, food | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
is something that most of us take for granted. An estimated 4 million | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
people in the UK are living in what as described as food poverty. The | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
charities that are trying to feed them are struggling to keep up. A | :10:37. | :10:44. | |
man who runs a soup kitchen in commentary tells us the story. -- | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
in Coventry. Starving Britain, something you | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
associate with days long gone. of the time it is some noodles a | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
day. It is sounds too far-fetched in this day and age. There are some | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
mothers who go without food so that their children can eat. I cannot | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
believe it. I know it is true and help from charities can only go so | :11:07. | :11:17. | |
:11:17. | :11:22. | ||
far. That should last someone two Every week you will find me here | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
feeding the homeless and the hungry. Get in the queue, please. Recently, | :11:27. | :11:35. | |
the queues have been getting longer. I want to find out why. Now, I'm am | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
no angel. But I am working overtime on this with Mike charity. We are | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
not the only ones who are busy. Food banks like this one in | :11:44. | :11:49. | |
Coventry are inundated. Volunteers are feeding around 150 miles every | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
week. These people are really desperate -- 150 mouths. Half of | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
whom we feed our children. Some people would say that they do not | :12:01. | :12:06. | |
believe that is happening in this modern-day society in this country? | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
In the city, we know that 20% of the population, about 59,000 people, | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
are living on the breadline. After paying for fuel, food and | :12:15. | :12:25. | |
:12:25. | :12:30. | ||
everything else, they have nothing So who are these hidden hungry? I | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
meet the team-year-old Alisha. Her �53 a week jobseeker's allowance | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
was stopped 10 days ago because she forgot to bring an essential | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
document. So tell me a bit about how you are living? Most of the | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
time, it is a pack of Super noodles the day, which is 17 p. I just pull | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
them with the cattle. I don't have a cooker or microwave. And are you | :12:59. | :13:06. | |
getting any help? My mum is looking after my son, so she can't feed me | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
as well. So not much. What have you got in your cupboards? If we went | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
into your kitchen now, what have you got in your cupboards? At the | :13:19. | :13:29. | |
:13:29. | :13:31. | ||
moment, a few pounds and a tub of margarine. -- a few pounds. | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
militia has got enough to keep her going for three days. She is one of | :13:34. | :13:42. | |
the lucky ones today. Clare has got five children, and feeding them is | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
her priority. How bad is it at its worst? At its worst, it could be I | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
am thinking, what will last until next week when I get paid again. It | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
could be three or four days until that happens. I have to find things | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
to put together. That is how it is. Have you ever found yourself having | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
to go without food yourself so that the family can eat? Yes, on | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
occasion. It is hard to say that, but yes. Oxfam says one in seven | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
poor people and the West Midlands regularly go without food to insure | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
their families can eat. Food prices are 11% higher in real terms than | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
five years ago. But most benefits will rise by more than 5% from | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
April, in line with September's inflation figures. The Chancellor | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
says that will significantly boost incomes of the poorest. I know we | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
are seeing real desperation here. What really bugs me is that people | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
are thinking these lot are spongers, or that they don't exist. People | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
like the former Conservative minister Edwina Currie, who refuses | :14:56. | :15:02. | |
to believe that there is anyone going hungry in this country. I had | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
a run-in with her not so long ago on a five live debate about poverty. | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
People are so desperate that their children eat the food before it | :15:12. | :15:21. | |
comes out of the packets. I'm sorry, but it can't... It this is real! | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
Don't get hysterical. But do others except this is happening? Yes, I | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
believe it. I think it is disgusting that people in this day | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
engaged should be starving, and families that can't afford to feed | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
the kids, that is disgusting. told you there were some others who | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
had to force themselves not to eat in order to give their children | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
something to eat, would you believe it? I wouldn't think it is | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
necessary. There is a safety net for them. I am telling you there | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
are some mothers who go without food so that their children can eat. | :15:55. | :16:01. | |
I can't believe it. So, some need to see more evidence. I don't have | :16:01. | :16:07. | |
to look far. Sam's turned up at my soup kitchen with his girlfriend. | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
He says he has recently become homeless. Are you starting at | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
times? Definitely. Are you eating a lot less than you are used to? | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
Definitely. I have a healthy appetite normally, but I'm cutting | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
down because we haven't got any money. I you're looking for work? | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
Definitely. I want the job. A daily? If somebody gave you a job | :16:32. | :16:38. | |
today, would you bite their hand- off for it? Easily. Although leg, | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
or whatever. Everything I see tells me there are more hungry people out | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
there. Surely there is someone in charge keeping count. It is quite | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
hard to be clear about it, to say yes, there are 20% more, or | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
whatever, and that is because in Britain we don't have irregular | :16:56. | :17:02. | |
system for monitoring who is going hungry or whether people are living | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
in food poverty. And Professor Darra is not convinced that the | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
government is doing enough. My fear is that it gets left to food banks. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
I am not against what you do in giving out free food to people who | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
need it. People are hungry. They need to be fed, of course. But if | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
that becomes the answer, that is a totally inadequate sticking-plaster | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
that will not solve the problem. can't believe that there is no | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
official measure. I want to talk to someone in Government about this, | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
but it appears that everyone is too busy. So instead, I have got a | :17:44. | :17:54. | |
:17:54. | :18:11. | ||
statement from Defra. A So, the Government is keeping an | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
eye on things. But is it going far enough? I think, without charity, a | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
lot of people would start. After the intervention of the food bank, | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
and Leisha's cupboards are full. Her jobseeker's allowance has been | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
reinstated. But she is still living hand to mouth. I would normally | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
have a lot more food and less snacks. If you could afford to eat, | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
would that be what you would buy? Definitely not. I would buy a lot | :18:47. | :18:54. | |
better stuff that would fill me up. What would you prefer to eat? | :18:54. | :19:02. | |
would rather be able to come good dinner -- Cook a dinner. But I | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
can't afford to buy all the stuff. The sad case is that there is not | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
just one of her. There are hundreds and thousands of people living that | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
sort of existence. That is what it is, an existence. There is no | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
purpose or meaning to it. They go from day to day, hand to mouth. I | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
don't know what the answer is, but it is good to a lot more ordinary | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
people to step into that gap for the meantime. We have to do what we | :19:31. | :19:41. | |
:19:41. | :19:42. | ||
can. And there has to be hope. So, what do you think? Should | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
people be more self-reliant? His hunger a reality here in the | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
Midlands, and if so, why? You can join in the discussion on our | :19:51. | :20:01. | |
:20:01. | :20:04. | ||
It wasn't that long ago that apartheid was an all too familiar | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
word. People were kept separate because of the colour of their skin, | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
unable to use the same shops, buses, homes. But one Worcestershire | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
critic -- Worcestershire cricketer is credited with helping to change | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
that. And a memorial service is going to be held at Worcester | :20:22. | :20:27. | |
Cathedral as a tribute to him. Apartheid South Africa was a | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
country segregated by race, where the white man ruled supreme. And | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
for Basil de Oliveira, every aspect of his life was controlled. You are | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
born in a certain area, and you are told you have got to live there. | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
You are told where to go. It becomes part of you, and you just | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
live in that system, so you don't realise, you can't measure it | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
against anything. But despite being celebrated cricket in the non-white | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
community, he would never be allowed to play first-class cricket. | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
Ceri turned his attention to England. -- so he turned his | :21:06. | :21:14. | |
attention. He began writing to John Arnold, a fierce anti-apartheid | :21:14. | :21:23. | |
campaigner. He wrote in four years in green ink, saying please, give | :21:23. | :21:33. | |
:21:33. | :21:34. | ||
me a chance. Arlett made it his mission to give him a chance, a | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
contract for one season, and the princely sum of �450. But the | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
timing was terrible. Basil was a newly-wed with a pregnant wife. | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
Behind every man -- behind every great man, there is a great woman. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
She would never have stopped my dad doing anything. If it was to better | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
the life of our family, he would go with her blessing. Whither the | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
decision made, Basil left to his pregnant wife in the care of his | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
family and arrived in London in 1962. From now on, it was his | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
cricket that would do the talking, not the colour of his skin. After a | :22:15. | :22:22. | |
slow start at Middleton, Basil's soon proved to be every good -- | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
every bit as good as Arlett had claimed. He was remarkable, because | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
he came over here, played his first season in 65, and played for | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
England in 66. Amazing. Basil was overwhelmed to be making his | :22:39. | :22:48. | |
England debut at Lord's. I stood there and I looked out. I am here. | :22:48. | :22:55. | |
I have done it. Basil's career was flying. He had successfully | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
outwitted the apartheid regime. Off the field, he was taken to the | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
hearts of the British public. He was a celebrated figure in British | :23:04. | :23:14. | |
:23:14. | :23:14. | ||
culture. He made 100! Did he really? And he was revered around | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
the world for his performance at the crease. He was a superb player, | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
constantly striving to be the best. Yet always painfully aware that his | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
greatest cricketing years had been laid to waste in South Africa. | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
Basil knew he was a formidable player, but he told me on more than | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
one occasion, if you think I was good then, you should have seen me | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
in South Africa. I was a far better player. I was over the hill when I | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
came to England. That is remarkable. In 1968, he was selected to play in | :23:47. | :23:53. | |
a Test match against Australia. Success here could be -- could mean | :23:53. | :24:02. | |
he would be selected for a team to tours have Africa. Basil would go | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
on to score his highest ever innings in Test cricket. Was there | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
the greatest innings played under more pressure than that 158 against | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
Australia? He knew he had to make it happen. He told Naomi, put the | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
feet up, watch the television, because I will be there all day. | :24:24. | :24:33. | |
There was no doubt that Basil had done enough to make the team | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
heading to Sat Africa. But in a move that stunned the nation, Basil | :24:38. | :24:48. | |
:24:48. | :24:49. | ||
was not selected. When the team was announced, he fell apart. He went | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
off the field and went home. It was so unfair. Cricketers who played | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
with him and knew his talent, there was no way we thought that the 16 | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
players should be picked without him. No way. Days later, when a | :25:07. | :25:14. | |
team-mate pulled out injured, Basil was finally included in the squad. | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
I don't think the cricketing body made that decision without any | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
influence. But the South African government refused to accept the | :25:25. | :25:34. | |
selection of a non-white cricketer on the tour. It is not the team of | :25:34. | :25:40. | |
the MCC. It is the team of the apartheid Movement. We are not | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
prepared to receive a team thrust upon us. Refusal by the England | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
selectors to withdraw basil from the squad resulted in the two are | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
being cancelled. The committee were informed that the side selected to | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
represent MCC in South Africa is not acceptable for reasons beyond | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
the control of the South African Cricket Association. The MCC | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
committee, therefore, decided unanimously that the tour would not | :26:10. | :26:18. | |
take place. They just demonstrated, quietly and unobtrusively, what was | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
so fundamentally wrong with apartheid in cricket. He was a top- | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
class cricketer playing Test cricket for the country of his | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
adoption who could not play for the country of his birth. Yet the MCC | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
went on to invite South Africa to tour England in 1970, sparking | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
public outrage and the formation of Peter Hain's stop the 70 to a | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
campaign. Because he was a cricketer, and because he was just | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
a cricketer from the beginning to the end, he crossed boundaries that | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
the anti- apartheid campaign could never do. He reached writer out | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
into middle opinion in Britain. Basil de Oliveira found himself at | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
the centre of international political storm, but he refused | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
himself -- refused to be drawn on the subject, remaining entirely | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
focused on cricket. It involves you in many ways, you have questions | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
fired at you the she cannot answer, as much as you would like to. I | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
would rather just continue playing for Worcestershire. But Basil was | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
privately supportive of the movement in his name. I think it | :27:27. | :27:34. | |
spurred him on, and it gave him another thing to strive for. If I | :27:34. | :27:44. | |
do well in my cricket, everyone in sad Africa can see. South Africa | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
was banned from international cricket, and that ban spread around | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
the world, including all sports from rugby to the Olympics. The | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
next time that England and South Africa would meet on the pitch was | :27:56. | :28:03. | |
in 1994, and South Africa was a nation on its way to equality. And | :28:03. | :28:07. | |
Basil? He played 44 Test matches for England, and later joined the | :28:07. | :28:12. | |
coaching staff at Worcestershire, overseeing the most successful | :28:12. | :28:22. | |
