We go deep inside St George’s Cricket Ground in Gqeberha, where Scott Boland is doing Scott Boland things. We catch up with the man himself, soak up the atmosphere, venture into the crowd and step inside the Xhosa commentary box. Then, a sit-down with Vernon Philander. And boy, does he have aura! From the moment he ripped through Australia on his Test debut, he’s been something special. The South African skipper Temba Bavuma digs in. We love it. And then… the pressure mounts on the Aussies as all eyes turn to Marnus, as the fight of his career continues. The nerves are REAL. It's one all, and we are off to Cape Town for the Series decider.

Off to Qeberha, we go... you'll even learn how to say that as you join our South African adventure. Howie heads into the surf for a bucket-list experience. A tube at J-Bay! You better believe it!

From the meet-and-greet with Trev and getting a board, to the beach, the waves and all the action in the water, it's a proper surf day. There's more Aussie banter on the radio, a good reflection from Howie about that viral moment, and we catch up with Sam Harper on tour before turning our attention to Test 2, Day 1. The weather, the crowds, the atmosphere and a few fun moments with the Supersport crew. Another day, another adventure, and another little slice of life on the road with The Howie Games.
