Cricket: Smith will come good says Prince
LONDON: Ashwell Prince told South Africa cricket fans not to worry about the form of Graeme Smith after the Proteas captain’’s first, and possibly only, innings before next week’’s first Test against England saw him make just 35 against Middlesex here Friday. This was the left-handed opener’’s first match since tearing his hamstring in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and it looked like he was consciously trying to settle in for a long stay as he took more than two hours over his runs. Smith contributed just 29 to a second-wicket stand of 106 with Hashim Amla after the early loss of Neil McKenzie before being caught behind shortly after lunch off pace bowler Alan Richardson. Amla, by contrast, made 161 to follow his 172 against Somerset in the tour opener at Taunton while Prince was unbeaten on 104 as South Africa finished the first day of three at Uxbridge on 339 for four. Smith’’s 77-ball stay featured just the four boundaries but fellow left-hander Prince said his captain’’s time in the middle couldn”t be quantified by statistics alone.
