Seriously ill in hospital.

Fingers crossed he’s on the mend soon. Brilliant batsman.

Awful news. Hope he pulls through. Didn't realise he's only 52.

Christ, thought he was fit as a fiddle man

He was an amazing player mostly in times of team turmoil. In a better side he could’ve been frighteningly good. My favourite as a child leading into my late teens.

Get well soon Graham

Smith's autobiography is a great read.

Smith's autobiography is a great read.

I was unaware he had 1. That will be my next purchase. Always loved him too. Another England didn’t treat the best from the outside looking in

This. In an era of poor English batsmen facing world class bowlers he was superb. He’d have averaged 55+ in todays game imo.
