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.
An emphatic 291-run win over Glamorgan on the final day of the 2014 domestic season saw Hampshire seize the County Championship Division Two title and promotion to Division One to cap off a sensational red-ball campaign.
Just one defeat in 15 games saw Hampshire head into the 16th and final fixture of the campaign at Cardiff in search of a victory that would seal their triumph, and after a terrific first-innings century from James Vince as well as four wickets for Chris Wood, the side looked well on course for victory.
Skipper Jimmy Adams’ 91 in the second-innings set the platform before a fantastic six-wicket haul from James Tomlinson on the fourth and final day helped Hampshire storm to victory and Division Two glory.
