Robin Smith: The Judge Who Stood Tall In The Ashes
A masterful batter whose courage defined Ashes series and cemented his place in Hampshire & England history.
Hampshire secured their first white-ball trophy in six years in 2018 with a magnificent triumph in the Royal London One-Day Cup, prevailing against Kent Spitfires in the competition final.
A superb century from Rilee Rossouw, as well as important half-centuries from Sam Northeast and Tom Alsop, had initially helped James Vince’s side post the highest-ever total in a final at Lord’s with 330-7 seeming a daunting total set for the visitors to chase.
An excellent all-round bowling display then restricted Sam Billings’ side as they fell 61 runs short – Gareth Berg and Dale Steyn combining for the final wicket to spark incredible celebrations in what would prove to be the penultimate domestic 50-over final to be contested at Lord’s.
