Amla's calm and credible leadership has a lot to do with it

And the superb class of stalwarts like Faf, AB, Steyn Remover.

and in other news, I think it looks like the only way Aus can get the mace back in their two test series in dubai against Pakistan is to win both games.

 

Go Pakis!

Ajmal totally banned from bowling.

I wonder if it is a coincidence that this happened just before the Aussie tour.

would be interesting to see if he's deviated much from this test over the years....would appear so from the banning decision

Less than six months after retiring from international cricket, former South Africa captain Graeme Smith has already picked up a pair of other jobs. Unlike many of his team-mates, who chose coaching or commentary as careers after cricket, Smith has opted to climb the corporate ladder and is officially an employee of financial services company Momentum, who sponsor South Africa's ODI and women's team.

 

This is in addition to Smith signing as tournament director of South Africa's 20-over domestic competition , a position he accepted last month.

 

His first project for his new bosses will be as a patron for the M2E bursary scheme, a joint venture between Momentum and CSA that provides for the financial and educational needs of talented cricketers from seventh grade upwards. Candidates are identified according to academic results, on-field skills and monetary backgrounds and those selected have their school fees, text books, stationery and other costs paid for.
