Robin SMITH - England - Test Record v West Indies

Robin Smith is pictured above in familiar pose - savagely square cutting - during his knock of 44 in England's

1st innings of the 4th Test against the West Indies at Old Trafford in August 1995. England won the match by

6 wickets to level the series at 2-2, which is how the 6 match series finished. Smith seemed to thrive when

faced with the West Indian quicks and saved some of his finest performances - including his Test best 175

at St John's, Antigua in April 1994 - for the men from the Caribbean.

 

Robin Smith died on Monday 1st December 2025 aged 62.

Thirty years after retiring from cricket at the age of 32.
