He's not exactly doing a great deal wrong, and god knows he might not be the smartest captain but it hardly seems cause to dump him. Botha hasn't even captained for many matches, and that too only ODIs. I don't particularly see the cause for replacing Smith with Botha.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861185876518162341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216862327208974261.post-56431674195167829452009-05-27T22:06:24.118+10:002009-05-27T22:06:24.118+10:00Who has been voting for Smith?

I think GS is a has been. Did he do RR any good? He is not consistent anymore. If he can get back into form, great for him. But the matter of the fact is that Botha has outplayed Smith. GS is known to be self-centered. Listen when people congratulate him on a win, he never states that the whole team did their part.<br /><br />Amy, if you want to know what the saffers think about GS vs JB: read this thread from the Supersport forum. <br /><br />http://www.supersport.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10947&PN=1The Cricket Corollaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15668236942626693800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216862327208974261.post-64046085162410924852009-05-27T21:45:19.785+10:002009-05-27T21:45:19.785+10:00I can't even really take part in this discussion a...I can't even really take part in this discussion about Graeme Smith because my opinion of him is so weirdly skewed.
