    SNTV spoke to Graeme Smith at the Oval in South London on Thursday about retiring from international cricket and his relationship with new team mate Kevin Pietersen.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Graeme Smith, Surrey captain (on the ECB's decision to drop Pietersen from international cricket):

    "I was obviously very surprised. You certainly have to have very valid reasons if you're cutting a player of that quality. I think England, to have a match winner like that and to get rid of him, surely you have to have had a good reason. No ones given that reason yet but their loss is our gain."
