After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91. Daryll Cullinan, the former South Africa batsman, has admitted to having contemplated migrating to New Zealand or Australia to play international cricket as a youngster growing up in apartheid South Africa. Speaking on the seventh episode of ESPNcricinfo Talking Cricket, to be aired on Friday on Sony ESPN, Cullinan said his ambition then was limited to playing county cricket because of scant exposure to the international game.In terms of where we were going - not knowing that wed ever get back into international cricket - it was not something that you believed was going to happen, Cullinan said. Thats just our lot, and if you wanted to play international cricket, you would look elsewhere, England or New Zealand, Australia, which I seriously considered, and I had the opportunity to go to New Zealand and go to Australia.[The] primary goal was to do well at first-class cricket and it was more the ambition of playing county cricket because that could offer you a living, and growing up, I really enjoyed squash more, but my father said, No, no, you wont make a living out of playing squash, stick to your cricket. But we always had the intention to go on and study. So, cricket became the means to get to university. It was secondary in your life, but international cricket, no, [we] didnt know much about it.The insular nature of South African politics meant his only window to international cricket was through magazines, Cullinan said: Its not like a kid growing up today, he is growing up with the international cricket. He knows who the superstars are and its a different world today.That was the time [where there was] knowing a bit about cricket and reading up on it, and cricket magazines which we got locally. Our schooling was one of that where the history of the past at that time was what we knew [of] the nations government - black people lived there, white people lived heree, and you went to your own schools.dddddddddddd There was no integration and we were cut off. Television only arrived, I think, in [19]76, 77, 78, [and even] that was controlled.Recalling the influence of players from the pre-isolation era, like Graeme Pollock, Barry Richards and Mike Procter, Cullinan said Pollock was the icon everyone wanted to emulate. Its early 70s, we were still young kids, so we knew of them, he said. Graeme Pollock was the icon. Barry had left. He played most of his cricket [in] Australia and England, which Graeme never did. So he was the player that everyone looked up to, and wanted to be. He was a true star.Cullinan said the rebel tours in the 80s created enormous excitement, given the shortage of cricket in the country. He admitted, however, there were security concerns surrounding the arrival of black cricketers from the West Indies. We thought, hang on, theres going to be bombs going to go off here, he said. These guys are now going to travel around the country, where are they going to stay? So they actually became honorary whites and they were so loved, but all these sort of things, we thought, well, you know, this was like guys arriving from out of space. And Im not exaggerating. We were still hungry for cricket. I think that was the huge excitement.Cullinan said there wasnt much awareness about the resistance to such tours at that time, as opposed to the fiery agitation that marked the arrival of the Mike Gatting-led English rebel side in 1990. It [the opposition to rebel tours] wasnt spoken about, certainly not on television, in the media, because it was state controlled, it was a shutdown, he said.Watch ESPNcricinfo Talking Cricket at 9.30pm IST on Fridays, and the repeat at 12pm on Sundays, on SONY ESPN ' ' '
