Nas and Ath are joined by South Africa spinner Simon Harmer on the latest episode of the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast.
They discuss the Proteas' Test series win against Australia and the resurgence of South African cricket in recent years.
Simon also tells us how playing at Essex in county cricket has helped develop his game, why he thinks England struggle to develop world-class spinners and he names the spinner he thinks England should pick for the upcoming tour of South Africa.
Plus, Nas and Ath chat about England's white-ball performances in the tri-series against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and Lancashire's decision not to give Sir James Anderson a new contract.
