Sacking South Africa, with Lungani Zama
🕑 Added 2020-10-29 05:18:45 +0000 UTCSeason 9, Ep 5: This week, the entire board at Cricket South Africa finally gave in to outside pressure and resigned. The extent of wrongdoing via a recent financial investigation remains hidden. Investigative journalist Lungani Zama joins us to analyse the developments and what comes next. In better news for South Africa, England’s tour will go ahead. India’s squads for Australia are named, the WBBL got started in the rain, the IPL heads towards finals, the Shield throws up some selection intrigue, and obnoxious former cricketers keep being obnoxious.

Then a discussion with Tim Wigmore whose new book studies why some sportspeople are more likely to make it to the top.
