Beats the great Desmond Haynes’s 148 as the highest ever score on ODI debut. So much exciting young talent in South Africa at the moment. Champions Trophy here we come…

Latest title for the brilliant Gia Raad - delivering the perfect birthday present for her dad Norman. Many, many more trophies to come for one of South Africa’s most exciting young golfers. @GolfRSA

A lovestruck Ard Matthews talks about finding true love at 50, hanging out with Prince and Beyoncé in LA, and why the Just Jinger front man still has plenty of music to come. Listen here:

A beaming @BurmyGolf welcoming players to @HoughtonGC, scene of his @JoburgOpen_ win last year. This year’s event is weeks away; course in superb condition. Thanks @barneygirnun for a lovely day - would have won, if @jury_marc’s dad hadn’t turned into Rory McIlroy for 18 holes…

RT @LaureusSport: 🏆 2025 Laureus World Sports Awards 🗓 Monday 21 April 📍 Madrid 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of Laureus and we can't wa…

The man who used to be dead: miracle cyclist Grant Lottering recounts his extraordinary second chance at life, and his latest mad adventure in support of children’s mental health. Listen here:

19 years after watching him light up Green Point Stadium, Robbie Williams did it again on Wednesday: electric performance from the master entertainer. Full house for a night of rousing karaoke, massive hits, and one of music’s most natural superstars. Superb night out.

Swapping accountancy for comedy, dealing with personal tragedy, and embarrassing his kids as much as possible - comedian Joey Rasdien joins #TDNS this week.

In between joining me on the Laureus Challenge, Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill talks London Olympics, falling in love with South Africa - and why I have to go on holiday to Sheffield. Listen here:

Front row tickets to The Alex Fitzpatrick Show at @EmiratesGC yesterday. Fantastic pro-am, with @DubaiDCGolf most generous hosts. Course is in glorious condition, and the field is superb - Dubai is set for another special week of golf. #teamtaylormade

Yesterday’s warm-up at @DubaiCreekGolf ahead of today’s @DubaiDCGolf pro-am at @EmiratesGC. Sunset stretch down 17 and 18 along the water tough and beautiful in equal measure. After a month of Johannesburg thinking it was Wales in winter, Dubai sunshine is very welcome.

RT @normangoodfello: From incredible sips to unforgettable moments, 2024 was filled with amazing tastings and great company. We can’t wait…

I spent time with Shep Rose on the Laureus Challenge, and he’s enormously good fun (with the energy of a Labrador puppy) - and so I’m now a converted fan of smash hit reality TV show ‘Southern Charm’. Listen here:

For the small ones… 🕳️

And there it is. A lot of emotion from a usually placid figure: crowd chanting Temba Bavuma’s name, celebrating a terrific hundred on his home ground. Rock solid, with some majestic shots. Not much fun bowling to the skipper when he’s in this sort of form.

I absolutely adore my fellow @LaureusSport ambassador @annabellebond - but I’m also extremely wary of joining her for anything, as she’s an utterly fearless adventurer with relentless energy. Listen here:

Wrapping up 20 years with @TaylorMadeSA, 21 years with @adidasZA - and another year with @Royal_JHB_Golf, where the golf and the hospitality vie for top honours. Thanks @BrandonMStone @Tipo_Morris and Ross Volk for a superb day; no more golf until next year…

World Test Championship final here we come! Heart stopping morning, with plenty of unwelcome deja vu for South African fans. But innings of a lifetime under pressure from KG, equal calm from Jansen, and 11 June at Lord’s is in the diary for the Proteas!

PROTEAS!!!!!!!
