King Edward VII School Old Boy, Captain Graeme Smith led his charges to another crushing win over New Zealand and in the process sealing the Sunfoil Test Series 2-0. South Africa thumped the visitors by an innings and 193 runs on the fourth day of the second test.

South Africa captain Graeme Smith said that he had been pleased by the standard of cricket his team had played over the series as they strengthened their position as the world’s top-ranked test nation.

“We’ve had to work hard to get into this position and it’s nice to keep playing well and it’s been a wonderful two test matches for us,” Smith said at the post-match presentation.

“They (the wins) were very professional and both were very big wins. A lot of guys contributed and I thought our style of cricket and the way we played was good. Bar a couple of dropped catches in the first test I thought our cricket was of a very high standard.

A three-match one-day international series between the two countries starts in Paarl on January 19.

The King Edward Community and School extend their congratulations to Graeme and the Proteas on a clinical and fantastic win!
