A full house of around 32,000 let loose a round of jeers at Smith when he took it upon himself to stem Australia's early run glut, only to see his second over yield 23 runs. As events showed, that should have been viewed as reasonably tidy. pass As he led his team from the field after 50 overs pass of ruthless Australian batting, pass Smith copped all manner of abuse from his country folk who accused him of overseeing a hapless herd of warthog (or words to that effect, give or take a local dialect). Then, as one of those over-wrought ground announcers under the influence of a double-shot hyperbole, broke the news that after a change of innings South Africa would begin its chase for 435 and glory, the entire stadium contracted a fit of the derisive sniggers. Of course, once the home team created history and launched an amazing run chase, the equal of which is unlikely to be seen for many years, Smith was immediately feted as an unmatched leader of men and his team hailed as celebrities.
