Graeme Smith fails as five South Africa batsmen score fifties - chairman - 10-08-2013
South African captain Graeme Smith failed on the opening day of the three-day practice match against Pakistan's second string here on Tuesday but four other batsmen hit half-centuries.
Smith, 32, managed just two before he was trapped leg-before by paceman Ehsan Adil in the seventh over after Pakistan 'A' won the toss and decided to field at Sharjah cricket stadium.
At close, South Africa reached 332-5 in the match where the first innings will be restricted to 100-overs per side.

He's entitled to be rusty after months out due to injury. Besides, even in the best batting conditions there always seems to be one batsman who fails.
At least the rest of our batsmen got in some good batting practice.
