Less than two years ago South Africa crushed Australia 3-1. Since then they've had a dire World Cup and consistent Test losses, while the national administration has fallen into chaos. With England having just polished off a series 1-3 in Johannesburg, the show this week features Neil Manthorp to explain the situation in the Rainbow Nation. Also Geoff is back from holiday, Daniel Norcross has sent notes on our progress through World War II, and there's Nerd Pledge and the early rumblings of the approaching Women's T20 World Cup.
