    TGC lands another white whale, without question, the one with the best obliques and leanest body mass. Faf du Plessis joins us to discuss nearly every sordid and amazing achievement of his glittering career. From being told to sit in a bathtub from his idol, Daryl Cullinan, to taking us into the showers of the Durban dressing rooms during Sandpaper-gate, Faf bares all for TGC. We hear stories of Australian abuse, second only to Brendan McCullum's New Zealand apparently, playing with AB de Villiers with fire in his belly and what it's like to captain RCB while Virat Kohli is in the dressing room.

    Great interview, the time really flew by. I know the interview couldn't have gone more into it while being about cricket, but the decision on telling your own truth when it puts other people in a worse light is so interesting. There was a similar discussion with a rapper called Royce da 5'9 where he said that telling his truth put people he cared about in a negative light, so he wouldn't have done it if he could change the decisions he made. It'd be interesting to see if Faf ever has a similar change in opinion down the line or not

    Australia 1st innings score 550, Warner 119, Clarke 230 and Hussey 103, Run rate 5.12 😯
    SA 1st innings 388, Smith 122, Faf 78, Kallis 58, Kallis batting at 9th position, may be he was injured, run rate 3.11
    Australia 3rd innings 267/8 Dec RR 3.81
    South Africa 4th innings chasing 430.
    45/4 in 20 overs.
    And 5th wicket of ABD felt on 89th over.
    Kallis wicket felt on 128.1 over.
    And 8th wicket felt on 143.6 over.
    Score 248/8 in 148 over RR 1.67
    ABD 33 runs from 220 balls SR: 15.00
    Faf 110 runs from 376 balls SR: 29.25
    Kallis 46 runs from 110 balls SR: 41.81
    This Faf innings will be remembered as always as one of THE Finest Test innings I have ever witnessed.
    This innings separate him from the rest of the other test playing cricketers.
    Match was drawn but this match helped SA to win next match and eventually the series.
    The next 3rd match was in Perth where SA set a target of 632 to Australia and SA won by 309 runs.
    What a series it was, sad it was a 3 match series instead of 4 or 5.
    The way both team played it should have been a 5 match series.
