🏏🇿🇦 THE ROAD TO GUYANA CONTINUES!

The build-up to the Over 40 Cricket World Cup in Guyana continues on The LegSide Veterans Cricket Podcast, and this Sunday we bring you another DOUBLE-HEADER featuring four members of the South African squad. 🎙️🎙️

Four players. Four different cricket journeys. One shared goal — representing South Africa on the world stage.

🎙️ ROBERT MUTCH & CHRISTOPHER THOMPSON

First up, we sit down with Robert Mutch and Christopher Thompson.

We get into their journeys through the game, the experiences that shaped them as cricketers, what Veterans Cricket has added to their careers and what it means to earn the opportunity to represent South Africa at a World Cup.

Beyond the cricket, we get to know the personalities behind the players and hear some of the stories that don’t make it onto the scorecard.

🎙️ BRENDON REDDY & RYAN REEVES

Then we welcome Brendon Reddy and Ryan Reeves to the podcast.

We talk cricket, competition, preparation and the road to Guyana — but also explore what keeps players competing, training and chasing new goals long after many cricketers have hung up their boots.

Expect insight, memories, a few strong opinions and, naturally, some good old-fashioned cricket banter.

🔥 TWO PODCASTS. FOUR SOUTH AFRICAN CRICKETERS. ONE DESTINATION — GUYANA.

🎙️ Robert Mutch & Christopher Thompson
🎙️ Brendon Reddy & Ryan Reeves

The Road to Guyana Series isn’t simply about introducing a World Cup squad.

It’s about telling the stories behind it.

The careers. The sacrifices. The friendships. The setbacks. The second chances. And the remarkable opportunity to pull on the South African colours and compete for your country.

🇿🇦 Get to know the players before they get to Guyana.

🎧 Catch both episodes this Sunday the 30th of August on YouTube and Spotify- The LegSide Veterans Cricket Podcast.

The team is taking shape. The stories are getting louder. And Guyana is getting closer.

🇿🇦🔥 THE PROTEAS VETERANS ARE STILL FIGHTING! 🔥🇿🇦
🏏 IMC OVER-60s WORLD CUP 2026 | MISSISSAUGA, CANADA 🇨🇦

The journey continues, and the Over-60s Proteas Veterans have given South Africa plenty to be proud of! 💚💛

After a strong group-stage campaign, South Africa finished with an impressive:

🏏 6 MATCHES
✅ 4 WINS
❌ 2 LOSSES
📊 8 POINTS

The Proteas battled against some of the best veteran cricket teams from around the world, producing performances filled with experience, resilience, determination and pride. 🌍🏏

SO CLOSE TO THE SEMIFINALS!

Despite finishing level on 8 points, South Africa narrowly missed out on a place in the semifinals to Pakistan on Net Run Rate, with just 0.30 separating the two sides.

That is how fine the margins are at a World Cup.

But the story is far from over! 🔥

🇿🇦 The Proteas Veterans now turn their attention to the Plate Final, with another opportunity to finish their World Cup campaign on a high and bring home some silverware. 🏆

🏆 PLATE FINAL

Make South Africa proud! 💚💛
