#8 Graeme Smith
Tall, well-built, muscular and nicknamed ‘Biff’ for his ability to smash the ball, Graeme Smith was known for his fighting spirit and tough character. This was evident when he walked out to bat at No. 11 with a broken hand in a Test against Australia, in an attempt to save the match for his country.
He captained the Proteas for a decade. Out of the 117 Tests he played in, he led the team in 109 of them. He was made the captain of the side when he was just 22 and quickly matured into a fantastic leader.
Smith was one of the best openers to have represented South Africa, amassing over 17000 runs in the international circuit.
