Smith out cheaply in his last Test innings
Print Edition
Graeme Smith was out for three in his last Test innings as South Africa crashed to 15 for three chasing 511 to win on the fourth day of the third and final Test at Newlands yesterday.
Smith was given a guard of honor by the Australian players but soon lost Alviro Petersen, his opening partner, who was leg before wicket to Ryan Harris — the 100th Test wicket for the fast bowler. Six balls later Smith fell for the fourth time in the series to Mitchell Johnson, edging a lifting delivery onto his thigh pad, with the ball looping to short leg Alex Doolan for an easy catch. The Australians stood to salute Smith as he left the ground and his teammates gathered on the pavilion steps to applaud him off. Smith kissed the badge on his helmet and waved to the crowd before disappearing into the dressing room. Smith announced on Monday that he was retiring from international cricket after the current match.
