Captain, legend and one of South Africa’s greatest ever batsmen. Greame Smith took the baton from Gary Kirsten and went on to become one of the world’s best opening batsmen during a career that lasted around 12 years.
He was not the most technically correct player but like any other top batsmen, he made adjustments to become one of South Africa’s pillars during their era of dominance. Smith scored over 9000 runs in 117 Tests with 27 centuries.
He was one of the grittiest and most combative batsmen to have ever turned out for South Africa.
