No doubt along with being the best batsman in test cricket history AB de Villiers will soon be the best captain in the history of test cricket, but I think its too early to make that call.

lol :)

Burgey would find offense with that statement.


Great player, captain, opening bat and pretty decent slipper as well.

ATG and one that will be missed and almost as difficult as Kallis to replace.

Thoughts on Kirsten calling Smith the greatest test captain in history?

South Africa Cricket News: 'Graeme Smith the greatest Test captain ever' - Gary Kirsten | ESPN Cricinfo

I like Kirsten, but that's just a wrong opinion, if there is such a thing. Appreciate what he's done for the team in taking them from a dark period in their history to the top of the rankings, and for leading from the front by being a tough bastard, but his on-field captaincy never really impressed me. Inspirational figure, no doubt but greatest captain ever is a big no
