Smith calls an end to Bravo dispute

Graeme Smith has called a truce to his ongoing dispute with Dwayne Bravo and says he will not take any further action. Smith had demanded an apology after being cleared of racially abusing Bravo, during the fourth Test in Antigua, as he approached his first Test century.

"I believe it would be sensible that the matter be laid to rest," said Smith. "Bravo is young and inexperienced, and with time he will learn and mature into a better person."

Last week West Indies team manager Tony Howard had indicated that Smith should not expect an apology from Bravo. The alleged incident led to Wavell Hinds throwing a ball at Smith while bowling towards the end of the Antigua Test and being fined his entire match fee.
