Graeme Smith confident in South Africa's experience for England tour

South Africa captain Graeme Smith is confident that his side have the experience ahead of the Test series with England.

South Africa captain Graeme Smith is confident that his side have the experience to overcome England ahead of this summer's three-match Test series.

England are regarded as having the strongest bowling lineup and conditions in England suit their attack, but Smith believes that South Africa's top order is good enough and experienced enough to cope.

Speaking to Sky Sports News, Smith said: "I believe we have enough batters that have performed over time under that sort of pressure in England.

"Even the guys who haven't been there before have played lots of county cricket and experienced the conditions.

"The top six as a whole needs to be really tight and perform well for each other - that is going to be a key factor in the series."

The first Test starts at The Oval on July 19.
