Smith heaps praise on leg-spinner Tahir
The South African skipper said the spin attack, which also featured the wicketless Robin Petersen, who bowls left-arm orthodox, had enabled paceman Dale Steyn to make an impact. Steyn ended with figures of 3-24. "One of the advantages of having a lot of spin options also is that when we do use Dale he can come in and make a really big impact for us. His pace was really up today again."
