This podcast is ALL NOSTALGIA! I'm really going to be exposing my age here, but a lot of the interviews and topics on this podcast will celebrate people whose feats enriched and entertained us over the years - so, from sports to arts and entertainment and culture. You will hear from people who inspired me growing up (and perhaps you), and altered my worldview or ideas about what was possible. If it sounds a little indulgent on my part, I'm sorry, but... it is MY podcast ;-)

… South Africa Saved the Indian Premier League (IPL)?

UPDATE: The IPL will resume on 17 May 2025 - https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/articles/c2kq085wg0do.amp

In 2009, just months before the soccer World Cup would put South Africa on the global stage, something wild happened: we hosted the entire Indian Premier League. Not a few matches — the whole damn tournament.

It was last-minute. It was chaotic. It was brilliant.

But behind the sixes, stadium fireworks, and Bollywood glamour was something else brewing: controversy, kickbacks, and cricket board politics that would soon explode — and eventually lead to a full-blown inquiry into Cricket South Africa (CSA).

In this episode, we relive the highs, question the legacy, and look at where CSA stands today — from the chaos of the Nicholson Report to the revival powered by the Betway SA20.

With clips, commentary, and one big question:

Did saving the IPL almost break South African cricket?

Voice featured:

- Chris Nenzani, CSA President (2013-2020)

- Pholetsi Moseki, CSA Chief Executive Officer (2021 - )

- Graeme Smith ( Betway SA20 Commissioner; former Proteas Test Captain)
