Graeme Smith, South Africa v Australia - 3rd Test: Day 4

The next captain on our list is the former Proteas superstar Graeme Smith. He is the only captain in the last 30 years to win a Test series in Australia on two occasions. He did it for the first time when South Africa toured Australia in 2008/09. This was Australia’s first home series defeat in 16 years.

The first Test match at Perth produced one of the greatest chases in the history of Test cricket. South Africa chased down 414 runs in the fourth innings. They won the second Test by nine wickets to win the series 2-1 as Australia pulled one back in the third Test.

Smith did it again when they toured Australia in 2012 for a three-match series. First two Tests ended in a draw and South Africa beat Australia by a huge margin of 309 runs in the third Test to win the series 1-0.
