WTC Final: Bavuma Holding Mace Will Lift Test Cricket Again In South Africa, Says Smith
World Test Championship: Graeme Smith, former South Africa captain and newly inducted ICC Hall of Famer, led the tributes for a Proteas side closing in on their first ICC men’s trophy in 27 years, lauding the fight and character shown by the team - particularly skipper Temba Bavuma and Aiden Markram in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia at Lord's.
Speaking on ICC Digital Daily after Day 3 play, Smith summed up the significance of the moment: “Temba holding the mace and what that will mean for the people back home - I think this will really lift the game again in South Africa.”
At stumps on Day 3, South Africa stood just 69 runs away from glory, reaching 213/2 after a magnificent, unbeaten 143-run stand between Markram (102*) and Bavuma (65*), who battled through a hamstring injury.
