- Cricket
South African cricket wasn't in a happy place for quite some time. The passion for watching the game dwindled. Sponsors were hard to come by, racism allegations flew, and the administration seemed to be reaching an impasse. Amid such turbulence, SA20 proved a commercial hit. We discuss the game-changing impact of the league with Richard Asher, an Austria-based sports journalist whose claim to fame is going to school with Jacques Kallis. Our chat rolls forward to the debatable exclusion of Lizelle Lee and the socio-cultural effect of the inspirational Proteas women journeying to the final.
