Can Smith solve South Africa's problems‪?‬ Stumped

    • Sport

We throw the spotlight on the crisis in South African cricket.
With the governing body and players' union at loggerheads - and so much talent and money deserting the sport - can the country remain a cricketing force?
The appointment of former captain Graeme Smith as acting director of cricket has brought some stability - but the state of the sport in one of its proudest playing nations remains very fragile indeed.
Plus, the 12-ball trial to earn yourself a life-changing contract in the Indian Premier League.

And a new award in Australia to honour the country's indigenous trailblazers from the 1800s.
