In England, it would be Graeme Smith. Anywhere else, it would be Matthew Hayden.
SMITH❤️ALWAYS
People will disagree with me but i will pick Smith over Hayden…. Smith scored lots of run overseas against quality attack… He run those as a captain too… Hayden is right up there too
Hayden
Hayden 💪
Smith is best
Smith
only.hadan
Mathew Hayden had played more test matches than Greame Smith . Otherwise
Hayden is a great opening batsman…. I have ever seen…
But Smith style and always play in pressure conditions… A great captain….
I would say tough competition…. Both are great on their own way
Awww I love both!! Two of my faaaavourite left-handed batsmen and I would pick Haydos as opener and smith as captain anyday!! ♥️❤️
Smith
I still remember Smith played with a broken arm in Australia. Really scary.
Smith scored runs in England but
hayden
was not so good in English conditions
Hayden was aggressive.. Smith was classy.
Both are greats..very difficult to choose one from them but maybe I'll have to say Smith for me as he was the captain of his side for a long time and justified his role Perfectly throughout his career in the pressure of captaincy.
0:36 this cracking sound is the reason why i love haydos
Graeme Smith is my choice.
When greame smith started hitting to chase 434 against Australia.
It's close, but Hayden because he was an intimidator. But Smith did it with the pressure of captaincy, Soo, like I said, it's close.
Smith all day. Hayden can't at against the moving ball.
Smith was a good batsman and Leader. His captaincy record is totely Outstanding .If Smith was there in the 2015 World Cup, South Africa would have been a definite World Cup champion.🫡
Yeah Hayden had the better technique and runs all over the world against both pace and spin.
He also had an elegant brutality about him. That stroll down the wicket is still an iconic shot many try to copy.
