Smith claimed most New Zealand records, including 176 test dismissals and 426 in all first-class cricket. He was also an accomplished batsman with his most noted innings 173 against India in Auckland in 1990, which was the highest by a New Zealand wicketkeeper, the highest test score by a No 9 batsman and the fastest test 150 (from 118 deliveries).
