Sorry that's not what I meant, I meant that at the time I was going for Australia obviously and I wanted us to get him out but it was after that I realised the courage from Smith and I respect that. Of course I still respect all opponents I just worded the comment wrong
Kym Bell You don’t need to explain yourself to the sjw’s bro I get what you mean there is a standard level of respect you give everyone then there is respect you have for someone that has been earnt for something courageous or kind
@@theflyingdropbear2009 South Africa won the test series 2-1. It was their first test series win in Australia. The first match SA won by 6 wickets, chasing 414. The second match SA won by 9 wickets. The third match (this match) Australia won. Then Australia won the t-20 series 2-0. And South Africa won the ODI series 4-1. You can check in Wikipedia. South Africa tour of Australia 2008-09. You are talking about Australia tour of South Africa 2008-09, that is just after this tour, where Australia won the test series and SA won the ODI and T-20 series.
In the circumstances, I'd still think it's a personal call. If it was a torn hamstring or an injured toe, the team may expect a batsmen to bat aggressively till he can. But this is finger fracture we are talking about. Far more painful and much greater risk of further damage and development of chronic conditions.
It was his bad luck to get such a brilliant delivery. That ball would have gotten a 100% fit batsman 9 out of 10 times...let alone an injured Smith. But that day he wrote his name forever in cricketing history. Such courageous display of love and commitment for the game and your country! Truly unparalleled.
Absolutely true, that ball came back from outside off stump and swung back to hit off stump, any left handed batsmen would be in trouble with that delivery.
Now South African playing skipping int'l matches for leagues They sent their unknown player to play against New Zealand While main player, 2 Bench strength player playing League 15 - Feb - 2024
One of the best moments in Test Cricket history if not the greatest, with a broken finger a captain coming on to save the team but the match was lost as he stood at the other end getting bowled. He fought hard and still won series for SA in Aussies home soil. Huge respect to Graeme Smith. 👏👏👏♥️
Smith we love ur dedication....U are a legend❤️..Even though SA already won the series he didn't want to loose this game.. That's what great captains do.
Before the injury Graham Smith had a strike rate of 30 of 31 and most runs for South Africa’s in that series, and this was a dead rubber South Africa have already won the series Graham Smith didn’t have to do this, but Smith did, and it took a Mitchell Johnson at his peak, and a bowl perfection to get Smith out with a broken hand, and yes Mitchell Johnson was the best bowler in that series a lot of people forget that Johnson was great around this time.
@Bhuvan Andhole The ball that INJURED him hit a crack, the ball that got him out was clearly reverse swinging. But a fully fit Smith may have defended that one, not a crippled one.
One of the gutsier things I've seen an opposing cricketer do in Australia. I know he'd have had pain killers but they don't stop all of it.This was an act of toughness.
Multiple test series wins in Australia, England, West Indies and Bangladesh, A series win each in New Zealand and Pakistan, Multiple away series draws against India and Pakistan, An away series draw each against New Zealand and England, only 4 away series losses out of the 20 series where he was the skipper, Graeme Smith the BEST TEST CAPTAIN of all time 🙌
I'm an Indian but the only team after India i would love to see win a world cup is ......... South Africa waiting from that 1999 semifinal tie they got some classy players but just they could not perform collectively , captain Graeme smith Jacques kallis, Lance klusener, Allan Donald, Shaun pollock ,Gary Kirsten ,herschelle Gibbs Hashim Amla ,dale steyn and ab devilliers were some fine gems produced by cricket South Africa and
At This Match Smith Jus Earned lots of Respect frm All Legend and Cricket Lover. i watched the entire test match but i didnt think abt smith will come at number 11.
The man who played 100 test matches as a captain was phenomenal 🙌❤️👌
Even though I'm an Aussie I have massive respect for what Smith did in this match
Why, even though. Opponents should have respect for each other. He actually deserves.

These men of steel can be forged only in test cricket.
You are just a pussy
Though Aussies won this match , but Smith won millions of heart.
Bro, South Africa won that series
@@divendughati6114 they lost the test series with Australia winning 2 to South Africa 1. ODI and T20 is where South Africa won.

Back then when Smith came out I thought he is crazy to do that, now I realised that he did what a Captain should do, defend his side no matter what.

I'm not a South African but when he came out with that broken hand I got goosebumps in my body and the commentators did a great job in that scene.
I saw this match live
I was crying when smith got out.
What a brave batsmen and captain he was.
Respect from India
Examination Of A Perfect Leader,
South Africa Needs Someone Like Him Again
Today, the Proteas will do well to just include a few cricket players in the side.
My already high respect for Graeme Smith increased 10 fold after watching this.
Massive respect for leading from the front.
That day Australia won the match but Graeme Smith Won everyone's heart

I salute you Graeme Smith. One of the best knocks I've ever seen live.

i got goosebumps when mark nicholas said “graeme smith is coming out to bat! this is a mighty figure!”
For me he is the most underrated batsman in this modern era
This moment taught me so much about resilience, truly one of the best moments of cricket

What a man.. What a team player.. So much respect.. Thank you for the memories you champ Graeme
Tbh, Smith didn't get out due to his hand injury,it was the brilliance of Johnson but wow what a dedication shown by this guy.he have my Respect
@Bhuvan Andhole oh yeah I see😅😅 anyway just wanted to say that the ball was a little difficult to play ...a little bit of unplayable
Yeah im pretty sure that ball probably gets most batsman out.
Not Johnson's beauty.. but the pitch misbehaved more
He wasn't using his bottom hand otherwise could have defended the ball easily
@Bhuvan Andhole The ball that INJURED him hit a crack, the ball that got him out was clearly reverse swinging. But a fully fit Smith may have defended that one, not a crippled one.
One word Resilience
Well done legend 🙌
Respect is the only word to describe...and this innings and the innings in highest run chase will always remain in fans mind.
Mark nicholas's voice is making this 100 time better !!!
Watched it live
It a tremendous series
And well played smith one of the Rsa had one day
Thats called a charecture... shows his immence love for the game and for his nation to bat out after fractured hand.. hats of to you sir.. a legend...
1:11 Johnson's reaction says it all
I also noticed it
Smith just showed what every athlete ever felt that representing your country on the world stage is the biggest honour you 'll ever have in life..
OMG. These kinda stuffs happen only in movies I thought but Graeme Smith is unbelievable to put his career on the line
Smith put his heart on that day
Huge respect for that champion for what he accomplished in this game!
Smith, the only classy player, I admire him, his playing style has next level. The drives, he played, are still treat to watch.
one of the most remarkable test series of Smith, won both test &odi series in world champion yards
That day he earned the respect for his team, fans and country.
A unique player with a unique style , unique voice and a unique love for his country ...
