Graeme smith became the south Africa's skipper at the age of 22, fulfilling his dream that he saw since he was 12. smith was never the studious except when it came to one task. at the start of each year, he would lock himself away for a few hours, put pen to paper and devise a list of objectives that would be pinned to his bedroom wall. "from the age of 12, circket was going to be life", the Sydney morning herald quoted his father graham, as saying. "his goals were very important to him, and it showed to us just how determined he was. they changed from time to time, but one thing that was always there was that he wanted to captain the south African circket team," he said. by then, graham smith knew full well that his son's ambition would lead him away from the family's engineering business.
