Graeme Smith ....... take a bow

International Tests South Africa
by NM (U10783832) 20 December 2008
comment on the article

What a brilliant century by Graeme Smith in final innings of Perth. Its his sixth century in 2008 and he has already scored (as I write) a mammoth 1500+ runs in this year itself at astonishing average of 75+. Surely Graeme Smith will be one of greats by the time he has finished his career. He is only 27, has already scored 6000+ runs and along with it 18 centuries.

Now if South Africa can convert this brilliant start into win then it will be a terrific start to Aus tour for Smith.

It would be pretty poor if SA dont win this match, they have it pretty easy with the best part of the day yet to play and wickets in hand. Our boys should have put a few more runs on the board. SA will probably win this one and deserve to do so

I wonder what will be implications on Aussie team with this loss.

Surely time to change few things specially in bowling. Hussey not firing for Aussies really hurts the batting as well.

Eat your own "chokers" comment Australia - the only team to lose a match defending a lead over 400 (twice!!)
