Cricket has lost its mind

Niche Radio — There's been some drama in this enthralling series between South Africa and Australia and most of it has taken place off the field as both sides have been at each other's throats.

The circus now moves to Port Elizabeth where the Proteas will be hoping to bounce back. Dan is joined by The Star newspaper's chief cricket correspondent Stuart Hess to unpack the many talking points

Niche Radio — Cricket is often so unpredictable but not in this competition. Not to blow our own horns or anything but the T20 Challenge is following the Short Fine Legs script. Titans cruising, JP Duminy proving his quality, unpredictable batting from the Lions, the Warriors propping up the table, rain in Durban; these are hardly outrageous predictions but we made them! This episode makes a few more.

Halfway through the T20 Challenge, yes we're geniuses

Niche Radio — Dan is once again joined by Simmi, forming a partnership that that is almost as formidable and intimidating as the current crop of world beaters known as the Titans. The men in blue from Pretoria are battering everyone in the T20 Challenge. Can anyone stop them? No, but that doesn't mean there isn;t plenty to talk about at this early stage of the competition. Also, India v Sri Lanka, Ashes banter and the possibility of a live recording at a game, but only if you show some love on Twitter @Short_Fine_Legs. Big thanks to @Niche_Radio for all their support.
