My sport-related blogs
I have long admired Anand Vasu so when he asked to interview me during the first Test against India in Cape Town, I was excited and also really nervous. It was a great interaction with him and the piece really delightful as it also focussed on my cricket obsessed son, Daniel, who was desperate to [...]

Great to interact with Teeshay Shah and Sanjana Ganesan on Match Point's Blogosphere over the weekend on a really interesting question: "Have Powerplays become a mere formality, considering that they are not a tactical move any more?” I joined by two colleagues from Sri Lanka, The Island’s sports editor Rex Clementine, and administrator Daniel Alexander, [...]
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 [...]

That said, you won't be surprised to hear that I'm partial to the gentleman's game, and I always look forward to Cricket Tuesdays on Radio 2000. I particularly enjoyed [...]

Today marks four years since I joined Radio 2000 to host a new sports talk show called #GameOn. Over the years the show [...]

What has impressed me on both occasions is the media presence at the event, and subsequent promotion of the semi-professional league across various media platforms. Women's sport is crying out for [...]
Today marks exactly 25 years since South Africa’s first Test match appearance following their return to international cricket in 1991, in a historic match against West Indies at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, on Thursday, 18 April, 1992.
