GC Smith (born 1 February 1981 in Johannesburg, Transvaal Province, South Africa) is a South African cricketer, and the current captain of the South African cricket team, having succeeded Shaun Pollock after the 2003 Cricket World Cup. A tall, left-handed opening batsman, on the 2003 South African tour of England he made double centuries in consecutive Test matches:[2] 277 at Edgbaston,[3] and 259 at Lord's. For the men who first put faith in a 22-year-old Smith, it would have been very sweet. In March 2003, Smith became South Africa's youngest-ever captain, when he took over from Shaun Pollock following the disastrous World Cup campaign. He had few leadership qualities - and barely a handful of internationals under his belt - but for a nation eager for a fresh start after the disasters of the Hansie Cronje affair, Smith was clearly made of the right stuff. Smith had quickly settled in at the highest level but woke up to the harsh life of international cricket with a jolt in 2004.A bittersweet first World Cup as captained followed, where Smith made 443 runs but South Africa were brutally hammered by eventual winners Australia. On 7 January 2009, Smith received a standing ovation from the crowd when he batted in the second innings despite a broken hand in an attempt to save the Third Test. He fell with ten balls remaining and Australia won the Test |
