Continuing with my admiration-of-Smith series (here's part 1) ...
Nasser Hussain, one of Smith's victims, interviews the South African captain. Such a mature head on young shoulders. The South African system has a lot of holes such as the 'quota system' but you have to hand it to the board for going with Smith. Like Cronje before him, he was always groomed to become a captain. And Smith might succeed where Cronje failed - win a test series against Australia.
The SA-Aus series will decide the premier team in the longer form. They actually play two back-to-back series - one downunder and the other in SA. These series follow the India-Australia series. I'm licking my chops.
Also check out Mike Holmans who thinks Smith is destined for greatness. Cannot disagree.
