[MUSIC PLAYING] A very good Monday afternoon from the sports team. Well, it's been welling around for a while, but Siobhan Khaleesi is coming home. Khaleesi will be rejoining the Hollywood Bette Shocks after just one season in France with the Wrestling 92. There was a lot of negotiation around buying him out of his contract, but it seems to have all been cleared up, and he'll join the Shocks after the Regby Championship for Shocks, a head coach, John Plumtree. Having Siobhan in the side is more than just about the Regby. Now, Siobhan will see at a real resort to get back to South Africa with his family, and we were never going to see no to that massive presence. And so, they're going to be the influence he has in the modern game. This mess is probably one of the most influential players of all rugby, so we were obviously delighted with the prospect of getting him back here. The Shocks are in Curry Cup action this weekend. They take on the Bulls in the semi-final on Saturday evening, just off to five at Loftus Farsvalds. Moving to cricket news. Young Hollywood Bette Stolfins all-rounder Andile Simulani has received his first Proteas call-up. Simulani is impressed for the SA emerging side, as well as the SA team. Jason Smith and Ord Neil Bartmann are also in the squad that will travel to the UAE. The Proteas will play Afghanistan in an ODI series, and then Ireland in both a T20 and ODI series. And we're going to stick with Cricket to finish, because Sri Lanka have pulled off an incredible eight-wicket victory over England in the third and final test match. England do win the series 2-1, but Sri Lanka produced some phenomenal cricket in the second innings to bowl England out for just 156, and that set up a chase of 219 to win. Patumni Sanka led the way with a brilliant 127 of just 124 balls, not out in the second innings. Angela Matthews finished 32, not out, of 61 balls to see Sri Lanka home comfortably with a day and a half That's all for this hour for the East Coast Radio sport team, I'm Nick Tython.
