Underrated batsman. Underrated opener. Underrated captain. He might arguably the best opening test batsman of the modern era. And perhaps the best captain in the modern era.

Best captain I’d definitely agree, despite Pontings win rate being higher. I’d argue Hayden and Cook are above him in terms of openers however
@RP-kr2mg4 жыл бұрын
@King Wiwuz IV Cook not really. Smith scored runs around the globe. Hayden was more consistent though, but I'll take Smith's leadership, even as VC, over Hayden's stature.

Never have I seen a captain deliver as consistently when the team needed it most. Captain courages being a very fitting nickname

I love this player.. Graeme Smith, probably the best captain post Steve Waugh era. He saw some tough time early in his career, didn't get support from the team but gelled up easily after and then became a legend in Cricket. Superb temperament, hard batsman to dislodge, great fielder and best team player. 100's - 27 100 test matches as captain. 117 test matches Love him surely in my all time XI with Matthew Hayden

That edgebaston knock was next level. I remember that game well, flintoff looked like he was going to trigger a collapse in front of a crowd that was absolutely HEAVING. Instead Smith took it pretty much all on himself to stand up and go toe to toe with them. He single handedly stopped their momentum and then counterattacked with Boucher. Ridiculously special innings.

Totally agree. That 154* to win the series was just wow. One of the great 4th innings knocks to win a game!

Made captain in his early twenties. When he wasn't even settled as a cricketer. People just debut as cricketers. He almost debuted straight as the South African captain and the rest is history both being leading a side initially with seniors , batting himself to make himself a an impact and then later brought Steyn Ab Amla into the side and started the proteafire drive. What a cricketer. Best thing he had , a huge temperament. Took South Africa to the very top . A great great of the game . Three South African cricketers could've easily crossed the 10k test runs . Graeme Amla and Ab but they never cared about it. Just went away after being close to it but that's why they played the game. To forever question why didn't they continue . But that's them. They achieved everything

Most prolific opener Graeme Smith vry illustrious timing especially wid new heavy ball from right under da noses of fielders leaving dem in utter disbelief & uncertainty, no matter Mr Graeme Smith holds all da record of partnerships, captaining SA in 100 tests winning 54 wid himself leading wid example taking 90 catches scoring almost 9000 runs while captaining South Africa is a vry Great & vry unique feat achieved by vry Great captain Legend of Graeme Smith
