Re: Graeme Smith, the most capped test captain

@GoldenAsif

Smith has captained his side a record 94 times in tests and he is one of the most successful captains too

94 out of 102 test caps is incredible

When Border retired, I never thought anyone would ever catch up with his record, just seemed beyond anyone but there you go
