Graeme Smith Good Quotations

I don't think he undermines his effectiveness but I think he puts him under a lot of pressure when it comes to decision making and maybe he doubts his own decisions sometimes because Shane is offering so much advice all the time. It's hard to sift through what is good and what is not good, at times.

He has had a good season and his club have had a fantastic season.

My one-day form has been very good over the last year and I'm looking to carry it on from India.

I think Melbourne was good for us in that we won very convincingly and probably gave South Africa a few other things to think about.

We needed one good partnership in our top five. It was a definitely gettable total. Polly and AB showed what was needed.

We might have to have a few more boys coming over and the news isn't too good with Jacques.

It was a really good win for us. We batted steadily enough to post a good total and then Brett and the rest of the bowlers did a good job for us.

It's a great opportunity for us to have a real good look at your guys and it will give us confidence if we can win. We must beat Australia at their game and I know I'm capable of leading the side to victory.

It was a good win for us at the end of the day. It gives us a bit of confidence going into the next game against Australia.
