Background:The small number of black African (BA) cricket players progressing through the talent development pathways to the elite level has been a constant concern for Cricket South Africa (CSA). Previous attempts to accelerate the development of BA players have not produced the desired results. A description of the barriers to development is imperative for appropriate interventions. Objectives: To understand the career progression of BA cricketers in South Africa by investigating their and other key informants' perceptions, and identifying factors that may influence progress to the elite level. Methods: A qualitative study consisting of 23 semi-structured interviews with BA players who had succeeded at the senior level (n = 11), and key informants (n = 12), was conducted. Content analysis of the data identified 92 themes, which were then aggregated into 12 categories. Results: Five enablers (exposure to the game, education, facilities and equipment, coaching and support networks), and five barriers (team environment, quality opportunities to compete, socio-economic factors, cricket player development pathways and leadership) were identified. Two further factors (intrapersonal attributes and targets) were identified, but the differing opinions of the interviewees on the influence of these variables made it difficult to classify them. Whilst all categories were perceived to contribute in the progress of BA players to the elite level, education, support networks, quality opportunities to compete, team environment and socio-economic factors were believed to be the most important. Conclusion: The sustainable transformation of South African cricket appears to be not only about ensuring demographically representative teams, but also about addressing barriers affecting progress that may be experienced by all players. This study highlighted the key factors that are perceived to be specific to BA cricketers.

“…There has been a significant increase in the number of BA players participating in senior provincial cricket but there was a significant decrease at a junior provincial level. [11,12] The increase in C/I players has been at both senior and junior level.…”

“…Furthermore, at junior provincial level, BA batsmen batting average was significantly worse than W batsmen in every year reported. [12] Therefore, there is a concern with the representation and performance of BA batsmen at the junior and senior level, suggesting that the problem exists from a young age and persists to adulthood. Despite the numerous development and transformation programmes and policies aimed at enhancing skill, the performance of BA batsmen remained weak.…”

Objective. To investigate the difference in performance and bowling opportunity of black African (BA), coloured/Indian (C/I) and white(W) cricket bowlers at a junior provincial level in South Africa between 2006 and 2012.Methods. Data of all players performing in the South African interprovincial under-13 (U13), under-15 (U15) and under-19 (U19)tournaments were analysed. Bowling performance (bowling average and the top 20 wicket takers relative to their par representation) andbowling opportunity (number of overs bowled) were compared between racial groups.Results. There were no significant differences in the bowling averages between BA bowlers and the other racial groups between 2008 and 2012.BA bowling averages were only significantly worse than W bowlers in the U13s in 2006 and U19s in 2007. BA bowling averages were also onlysignificantly worse than C/I in the U13s and U15s in 2007. BA bowlers were below par representation in the top 20 wicket takers in each yearfor the U15s and U19s and below par representation for the U13s in 2007 - 2009 and 2011. The performance of C/I and W bowlers was relativelysimilar across the age groups. BA players bowled significantly fewer overs than W bowlers in the U13s in 2006, in the U15s in 2007 and 2009and in the U19s in 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2011. C/I bowlers bowled significantly fewer overs than W bowlers in the U13s in 2008 and 2009.Conclusion. The bowling averages of the different racial groups are similar. However, there were relatively few BA bowlers in the top 20wicket takers each year. This could be because of a lack of highly skilled BA bowlers or the lack of opportunity provided to BA bowlers tobowl in these tournaments.

The current Internet development situation regarding the analysis of sports teaching information is very necessary and can be a way to improve the effectiveness of sports teaching in the information environment. Aiming at the defects of strong subjectivity and low discrimination accuracy of the current sports video classification results, this paper proposes an effective sports video classification method based on deep learning, which can effectively evaluate the sports assisted teaching. Specifically, the key frame features are obtained by using the similarity coefficient key frame extraction algorithm, and the sports video image classification is established through the deep learning coding model. Thus, the ability of the school to rely on the scheme proposed in this paper to improve the teaching facilities, physical education curriculum teaching materials, assessment teaching materials, management, and so on. The results show that for different types of sports videos, the overall effect of the classification of the method in the paper is significantly better than that of other current sports-assisted teaching evaluation methods, which has significantly improved the effect of sports-assisted teaching evaluation.
