Shaded by Smith
Of SA’s batting captains, Faf du Plessis can rest assured with the knowledge of having scored more runs (3,981), more hundreds (nine) than Kepler Wessels (2,788 runs and six tons) and the late Hansie Cronje (3,714 runs and six tons). Graeme Smith, though, shades them with 9,265 runs and 27 tons.
