The Grade Cricketer’s Ian Higgins has been rushed to hospital in South Africa following a “serious medical emergency”.
Higgins and his co-host Sam Perry are on the ground in Cape Town for Australia’s series-deciding Test against South Africa, and have been recording daily reviews after each day’s play at Newlands.
But fans of the show woke up on Friday morning (AEDT) to nothing in their podcast feeds, with TGC’s Instagram account soon explaining what happened.

“Thankfully, he’s doing much better and was discharged tonight.
“A huge thank you to the paramedics, Newlands medical team and everyone at Kingsway Hospital for their tremendous skill and care.
“We’ll be back tomorrow.”
