Former Proteas bowler Craig Matthews joined us in studio on Tuesday to pay tribute to legendary former SA cricket captain and all-rounder Clive Rice. Watch.

Clive Rice, the first post-apartheid cricket captain of South Africa and a famed all-rounder, finally succumbed to septicemia on Tuesday after a long battle with a brain tumour, five days after his 66th birthday.

He underwent robotic radiation treatment for the brain tumour in Bangalore, India in March and believed the doctors there had saved him from death after he had been told he couldn't be treated in South Africa.
