I'm among those who're very happy to see Graeme Smith, captain of South Africa, break a few batting milestones. I haven't seem him play much, but ever since he put his hand up for the captaincy job, I have wished him well. For which 22 year old opening batsman with little experience and even lesser support willingly takes on so much responsibility voluntarily? Give it to me, he said, and though there's a long way to go yet, he's redeemed himself somewhat.
