Short Fine Legs

Proteas all-rounder Suné Luus gets real with Dan and Nons about the gender disparities that exist in South African cricket. She also explains why she picked up leg spin and how a stellar performance in this year's World Cup has elevated her team's reputation.

What makes a successful cricket captain? Is there a universal trait that all skippers require? Who should lead the Proteas Test team when they get back on the park? Dan and Nons put these questions and more to a legend of the South African game and an iconic leader of the Lions, Stephen Cook.

Former wicket keeper Thami Tsolekile opened a can of worms regarding match fixing in South African cricket. Dan and Nons pick at the bones of this contentious subject.

Dan and Nons are joined by former first class cricketer, national selector and commentator Hussein Manack as they unpack the week that was, exploring the 3TC Solidarity Cup, Black Lives Matter and the need for a TRC in South African sport.

Daniel and Nono are joined by renowned commentator Natalie Germanos. They unpack the polarising discourse in South African cricket surrounding Black Lives Matter, white denialism, gender inequality and how all of these problems can be fixed.

It’s the start of a formidable partnership as Dan is joined in the middle by Lions and Jozi Stars all-rounder Nono Pongolo who becomes the official co-host of Short Fine Legs. In this introductory episode the two reminisce about the days they shared on the field (briefly) and how life took them to different parts of the cricket world.

Farhaan "Fudgie" Behardien is a legend of South African cricket. A Titan of the domestic game but a polarizing figure in national colours. Here he chats all things from death batting to Kolpaks, to World Cup heartache and social activism.

He loves hats but hates cars. He rides bicycles and brews his own coffee. Is he a hipster? Well, maybe, but he's also one of the finest cricket writers on the planet. Telford Vice shares his views on cricket, coronavirus, capitalism and media managers.

Comedian, podcaster, BBC commentator, statistician, cricket tragic; Andy Zaltzman is not your average man. But like the rest of us, he has been forced to self-isolate and ponder his existence in the absence of the game he loves most. Thankfully he's as sharp as a Quinton de Kock cut shot and is able to find some moral lesson in this outrageous situation.
