Smith hopes Bavuma to emulate 2012 Lord's heroics in WTC final
The Northlines
|07 June 2025
Former South Africa skipper Graeme Smith has conveyed his best wishes to Temba Bavuma and his team ahead of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final against Australia and hopes that the side can replicate their 2012 success at Lord's, when Proteas became the No.1 Test side after beating host England.

South Africa and Australia will be playing for the ICC’s coveted mace, from June 11 at the Lord's, a place that holds a special affinity for Smith.
South Africa are aiming for their first ICC trophy in over two decades while Pat Cummins-led Australia will be looking to retain the mace that they claimed after defeating India in the previous edition of the WTC final at the Oval in June 2023.
“We're right behind Temba and the team. As the last man that held the mace at Lord’s in 2012, it would give me great pleasure to see Temba and this group of players lift it. All South Africans should unite and support the team on this important mission," Smith said.
