what are you talking about?
smith can not be replaced during a match
therefore he was the only one that could of gone out

LMAO! If you dont know what yorue talking about dont comment.

Smith came in at number 11, last man, he usually comes in 3 or opens, I cant remember. All he had to do was hold out and SA may have gotten the draw. He wasnt fully injured at the start of the match, the injury that meant he came in at 11 today was sustained in the first innings. It was either bat or concede defeat with not long to go after only losing 9 wickets.

he opens up
well he did come into the match fully injured (tennis elbow) but decided to play anyway even though he needs some procedure done.
he put his body on the line all of the tour
and i respect him SO much more now then before the tour

The tennis elbow wasnt what pushed him down to XI was it?

Did he used to bat at 3? Where does he bat in ODIs?

I wouldn't say he was 'fully injured' with regards to the elbow. It was no worse than it was before, and it wasn't hindering him enough to cause him to stop, obviously.

Nope, it was definitely the broken hand. And I'm fairly sure he opens in ODI too.

it wasn't enough to stop him playing but any other player in the south african team i think they wouldn't of played
he continued to play cause he was captain and wanted to continue
he was told he shouldn't continue
but he had injections into his elbow before the start of play each day so he could get out there and play

im pretty sure he hasn't batted at 3
and he does open in odi's as well

He might've batted a couple of times at three behind Kirsten and Gibbs early in his career but I can't remember him doing so.

Wiki said his first test match he batted at 3 for the first innings then moved to 1/2 for the second. I think that was the first tour I watched on fox sports all those years ago. 2002. Gilchrist got a double hundred I think and I also remember andy bichel doing something good. Shady, shady memories.

ah ok
man that gilchrist double ton was so good

too much criket talk on here. It only needs one topic.

Update:
Best-I'm going to the Tennis tommorrow
Worst-My little brother lost my wallet which had my bus pass plus $10 in. He claims to have put it on the side, but my family reckon he dropped it. 10 year old's. ](*,)

Diddums. Wait till you have a credit card, key card, and carry $20. :lol:

Know the feeling. I lost my wallet last week with shite, my work ID and a hundred dollars...and then I found out that somehow the dog had it. I shit you not.

I wasn't logged on at that time, and you guys were talking it up, so I had to go and see what the fuss was about. Right move. :lol: I just love fights like that.
