Been watching some videos of Graeme Smith tonight, this one is great, him and Gibbs smashed the poms to all parts while Nasser Hussain the clown couldn't do a thing. You've got to enjoy that.

Must admit never really rated the bloke as one of the worlds best. Seemed like the stereotypical Saffer cricketer who was great until put under the pump.

Test leaders who took my admiration in the best teams @ their time are Viv, Steve Waugh, Imran Kahn and even though he wasn't captain of the best team I really rate Stephen Fleming as an outstanding student and leader of Men. The continuous injuries of Shane Bond and some ridiculous career ending decisions of some players @ the time. I reckon around 2003/4 they were as good as Australia and better captained....

LMAO. This Kooka is laughing at that one. Even the Kiwi sides of the eighties weren't as good as Australia 2003/4.
