Thank you so much to Greg Close. More news with Greg at 8 o'clock. Good evening and welcome to the Thursday edition of Top Sport, show number 798, would you believe, 800th coming up on Monday evening.

Only one place to start tonight. What an incredible win for the South African cricket team, the Proteers. They had to fight against the weather, they had to fight against hostile conditions, they had to fight against all sorts of things, but somehow they found a way to win, not only to win, but to win by innings and 31 runs. We'll unpack that in great detail on the show in a little while.

Also being a Thursday, once again we pay a visit to the golf course. Tonight, we'll zone in on Glendower Golf Course, where the Stella Artois Players Championship is taking place. Round one completed not so long ago, so we'll give you an update on how matters unfolded there. In football Champions League action last night, well Manchester United are aside in big trouble. They were outclassed by Como in Italy, losing by four goals to one. Lots of questions asked of Michael Carrick. Arsenal scoring a very good away point at Bayern.

A two will draw in that one. Real Madrid ruthless against RB Leipzig, just to name a few of the results. Lots of matches taking place tonight. We'll have a look at some scores if we get time later on in the show. Locally calling knockout action this weekend. Matters begin though with a CAF Champions League as well as the CAF Confed Cup, with Chiefs, Pirates and Sundowns all in action tomorrow afternoon and into the evening. Also news coming out of the Pirates camp is that Coach Mandlaq Trikazi has parted ways with the club. His next move yet to be revealed. So Pirates fans, maybe your thoughts on that. Tonight on the show, we will talk about the upcoming annual Sports Quiz night, which takes place this coming Wednesday at the Wondrous Club. It is almost a sporting institution in South Africa. And we'll chat to the man who is my in-studio guest tonight, somebody I've known for many, many years. He founded the annual MSC Sports Quiz, put it together, we'll find out about that event and also about all the other work that he does in a sporting environment. So looking forward to that chat. And then in Black Ball, a sport we haven't spoken about for some time, some action taking place tomorrow out at the Lujanbo campus in Mbombele, where the province said to host the National Pool Championship for the next three years, with KZN having been the previous host. The official launch is said to be announced next Saturday, but tomorrow is an exhibition with students at the campus going head to head to get the ball rolling, so to speak. So if you're in the area, there's some black ball action for you to enjoy. Let's get to the quiz question tonight. I'm sitting next to the doyen of Quizmasters here in South Africa. So I'm going to give you an interesting question relating to cricket. Let's see how you do with this one. And I had to really think out of the box to come up with this question for you. So it hasn't been done for nearly a decade, and only 12 players have ever done it, including a Zimbabwean and six players from the subcontinent. No South African has ever done it, and the last player to do it was playing for India. It's a cricket question. What are we talking about? So once again, let's see how good you are. It hasn't been done for nearly a decade. Only 12 players have ever done it, including a Zimbabwean and six players from the subcontinent. No South African has ever done it, and the last player to do it was playing for India.

What am I talking about? Let's see if you know the answer, or at least if you can think out the box and figure out what I'm talking about. 614 104 107
