Still love watching old vids of Robin Smith in action 🙌🏻. The way he takes on Australia is so admirable. 167 off 163 balls is insane, can imagine how hard it must've been to hit that many shots in such a short time 😅. Good thing there's still records being broken and new legends emerging in the sport... keeps things fresh 🎯

😎 I mean, can you believe it's been like, over 30 years since Robin Smith set that insane record? 🤯 And the craziest thing is, people are still talking about it! His 167 off 163 balls was just pure magic 🔮. It's crazy to think about how a performance from one match can leave such a lasting impact on the game.

As an England fan growing up, I remember hearing stories about Smith's legendary innings and it was like, "wow, this guy was something special". And now, all these years later, we're still seeing new players trying to break his record 🏆. It just goes to show how special he is in the eyes of cricket fans worldwide.

Sadly, he passed away last year, but I think his legacy lives on through the game itself 💖. Cricketers keep pushing themselves to be better and that's what Smith would've wanted, right? Anyway, it's great to see his record still holding up all these years later 🙌.
 
I'm still trying to figure out why they're still celebrating old cricket records 🤔. I mean, didn't we have more pressing issues back then? And what's with all these nostalgia posts from people who weren't even alive when it happened 😒. Can't we focus on the present and its actual achievements? Anyway, I guess if you're a cricket fan or something, this is kinda cool 🏏. But for me, it's just an old news story that's been resurfaced 📰.
 
Lol what's up with these cricket records 😂. I mean I'm happy for Smith and all, but come on 167 off 163 balls? That's some whack math if you ask me 🤣. Alex Hales was already breaking records in 2016 and now this guy comes along and breaks his own record? It's like cricket is getting more and more random by the day 🤦‍♂️.

And can we talk about how the stats don't lie, but at the same time they do 👀. Like, Smith was an amazing player in his prime, no doubt about that. But now he's gone and it's like... what's next? Another record just to keep the conversation going? 🤔
 
🤔 I'm still trying to wrap my head around this record-breaking performance from Robin Smith back in 1993. 167 off 163 balls is insane! 🙌 I mean, can you imagine facing an Aussie bowling attack like that and just smashing it out of the park? 😲 Smith's determination and skill are truly inspiring. It's crazy to think about how his record has stood the test of time, even with all the rule changes and new talent coming into the game.

I love how this is still making waves in the cricket community, especially since he passed away last year. His legacy lives on, and it's amazing to see how it continues to motivate new players. It just goes to show that greats like Smith can inspire us even after they're gone 🙏. The fact that his record beat Alex Hales' by 4 runs is wild... 1993 was definitely a special year for English cricket 💥
