Former South African cricket captain Graeme Smith has denied reports he accidentally divorced his wife via text message. According to South African newspaper the Sunday Times, Smith mistakenly sent his wife of four-and-a-half years, Morgan Deane, an SMS meant for his lawyer. The report also claims Smith has ‘abandoned his family’ and is spending time with his friends at the Cricket World Cup instead. “He is only interested in going out with his friends and partying. He is obsessed with the limelight and would go to the opening of an envelope. He finds her boring and thinks she is a nag when she asks him to spend time with his family,” a friend told the newspaper. Smith released the following statement slamming the report: “It is disappointing that certain segments of the media have chosen to publish speculation and accusations as regards the means and manner of our marriage breakdown,” he said. “Naturally it is tempting to respond, however other than to deny the accusations that have been published, I have chosen not to comment. Hopefully people will respect that. “My intention remains to act with dignity and respect throughout this process for the wellbeing of my children and my family.” Smith and Deane divorced in February this year.

Typical Saffa dropkick. The part in bold probably explains why I never liked him as a player. Guess some things never change
