Biography

Robin Arnold Smith (13 September 1963 – 1 December 2025) was a South African-born English cricketer. He was a part of the English squad which finished as runners-up at the 1992 Cricket World Cup.

Smith was nicknamed Judge or Judgie for his resemblance to a judge when he grew his hair long. Like his older brother Chris, he was unable to play for the country of his birth because of the exclusion of the apartheid regime from international cricket, but because he had British parents he qualified to play for England.

He played for England in eleven home test series and on six overseas tours from 1988 to 1996. Smith was best known for his ability against fast bowling, with what was regarded as a trademark square-cut that he hit ferociously. He trained to be a psychologist.
