Graeme Smith

One of the youngest skippers in Test cricket, when he took the reins of a tainted and beleaguered South African team, Graeme ‘The Biff’ Smith, had scored four double hundreds away from home, as captain, one in UAE, one in Chittagong and two more in England.

Against Pakistan in Dubai, in October 2013, Smith scored 234 adding an incredible 338 for the fifth wicket with AB de Villiers, taking South Africa from a precarious 134 for 4 to 472 for 5. South Africa won the match by an innings and 92 runs and Smith took the Man of the Match award.
