Last December, I was approached by Sky Sports to present The Hundred this year. With Covid-19 hitting, the tournament was postponed to 2021. I was looking forward to letting you know closer to the time, but news slipped out last Monday after I wrote a piece 'Will South Africa be banned from international cricket?' [...]
What an absolute joy to host #SixOfTheBest in Lahore last week Saturday on our day off during the HBL Pakistan Super League. My good friend, Munawar Hussain, had offered to gather some of the smartest minds, for an intimate lunch, to discuss the return of cricket to Pakistan, where I had the privilege of recording [...]
I had the honour and privilege of sharing the commentary box with cricket legend, Jonty Rhodes, during the first week of the HBL Pakistan Super League. On Saturday night, while it rained in Rawalpindi, I grabbed the opportunity to interview Jonty and talk to him about a range of things, including his recent comments about [...]
For a long time, fans had been reaching out to me to make time to talk cricket with them. Last season, I started the #SixOfTheBest initiative to bring fans closer to the game. We had two wonderful meet-ups, one at Newlands and the other at the Wanderers, where I got to meet some of [...]

A long-planned interview on 702’s Lunch with Azania show finally came together on Friday, and - a win and a loss - while Azania Mosaka was unfortunately not in for the day, I got to spend a very special 30mins in the company of 702-land and the ever-impressive Phemelo Motene. I didn’t manage [...]
Well, it sure is a day for podcasts! Enjoyed celebrating Mother's Day on Cliff Central today with my old friend Gareth, who I met when we were 22. It was great to reconnect and share old stories and look at how far we have come. We chatted about how my career started, where my passion [...]
I am a passionate supporter of all South African sport, as you'll find in Game On Amplified podcasts published at iono.fm, shortly after airing on radio.
