Smith considers delaying retirement

Robin Smith has said that he is reconsidering plans to retire at the end of the summer following his good form so far this season.

Smith had indicated that this would be his last season and that he would be quitting to concentrate on his business commitments. But five half-centuries have led to a rethink. "My technique has been good, I'm feeling great, my confidence is there and I've managed to produce some really nice innings. If it's to be my last year it would be nice to go out on a high but if I'm continuing to play very well and proving my worth in the team I may give it another year."

"I'm fit, the desire, hunger and passion for the game is still there so who knows what will happen? . I'm delighted at how things have gone so far. I can't remember batting as well as this since I was playing Test cricket."
