Smith scored 2 test hundreds. First one against Eng 1983 and this blinder against India in 1990. He played the cut shot to virtually every ball even if it pitched a metre outside leg stump but was very handy. McCullum is a better batsman and equally good with the gloves now imo.

Astle has a case to be in both sides but I would probably only have him in the OD side
