Free lance cricket writer Daniel Gallan returns to the podcast. As a resident of London, Gallan weighs on the certain goodwill aspect between the respective boards given the English summer is about to kick off with visits from West Indies and Pakistan. Gallan believes Dean Elgar is the leading candidate for South African Captaincy.

The podcast also takes a nostalgic turn as we recall South Africa's heart breaking WC 1999 campaign and the historic 2008 test win in Australia. Was 1999 the best chance for South Africa? Does the 2008 series win has an asterisk for the Proteas considering the depleted Aussie pace attack? A lot of these nostalgia driven questions are addressed here.
