#2 Graeme Smith (259) - 2nd Test, South Africa's 2003 tour of England: August 1
Graeme Smith has always loved to bat in England. He has been part of his side's victories in the country, and every time he has played one good role or the other.
In the summer of 2003, the former South Africa captain played one of his most important knocks as he sent England spiralling to an innings defeat. Thanks to his 370-ball-259 that comprised 34 strikes to the fence, the Proteans compiled 682 for 6 against England's first innings total of 173 all out. In the second innings, England scored 417 but that was not enough for the hosts to overcome South Africa's mammoth total.
Graeme Smith was awarded Man-of-the-match for his knock.
