  • Rahul Patil: South Africa Breaks its Hoodo, as Australia Falls Apart in cricket's World Test Championship Final

    Rahul Patil: South Africa Breaks its Hoodo, as Australia Falls Apart in cricket's World Test Championship Final
    Jun 17 2025

    In this lively post-Test Championship debrief, DSPN host Martin Devlin welcomes cricket expert Rahul Patil onto the podcast, as they dissect South Africa's five-wicket win in the final at Lord's. Marty and Rahul revel in the Proteas' fairytale triumph, making gleeful digs at the Aussies' win-at-all-costs attitude. Rahul shines a light on South Africa’s emotional journey - from heartbreaks past to ultimate redemption. The pair unpack Aiden Markram’s monk-like composure, Temba Bavuma’s leadership, and why the win meant so much. They also lament poor batting techniques shaped by Twenty20 cricket and question the scheduling of the WTC Final straight after the IPL. With the Ashes looming and Australia ageing, Marty and Rahul also wonder - has the Aussie aura finally cracked?

    Tony Johnson: Crusaders' Almighty Defence, Chiefs-Brumbies, & Mouth-Watering Final | Super Rugby 2025
    Jun 16 2025

    Tony Johnson is back on the DSPN, and he joins host Martin Devlin to review the Super Rugby Pacific semifinals. They dissect the Crusaders’ heroic defensive stand against the Blues - 203 tackles, 38 phases defended - and the red and blacks' legendary 31–0 home playoff record. Meanwhile, the Chiefs steamrolled the Brumbies, with Damian McKenzie starring and the bench making a huge impact. TJ and Marty discuss McKenzie's brilliance, and the Chiefs’ hunger to farewell coach Clayton McMillan in style. TJ highlights the crucial role of discipline, especially given the yellow card carnage from the 2023 final that hurt the Chiefs. They wrap by predicting a nail-biter final in Christchurch.
