Clay Smith (cricketer)

Having debuted for Bermuda in 1991, Smith first came to notice at the 1994 ICC Trophy in Kenya, where he ranked fourth in overall runs scored and helped his team to the semi-finals.

[1] Another brother, Ray, was an all-round sportsman best known as a boxer, serving as Bermuda's middleweight champion for a period.

Making his List A debut, Smith scored a total of 151 runs at the tournament, behind only Charlie Marshall for Bermuda.

Smith scored only 126 runs from six innings (with a highest of 43 not out against Italy),[9] while Bermuda failed to make the tournament's second round, placing ninth overall (after a fourth-place finish at the previous edition).

[12] Just days after the end of the Americas Championship, Bermuda faced the United States in an Intercontinental Cup match.

[14] Smith remained in good form during the 2005 ICC Intercontinental Cup, scoring two centuries – 138 against the Cayman Islands and 126 not out against Kenya.

[16] With Janeiro Tucker substituting as captain in his absence, he did not return to the team until their semi-final against Scotland, by which time Bermuda had already secured their qualification for the 2007 World Cup.

[17] In December 2006, it was confirmed that he had been permanently replaced as captain by Irving Romaine, who had already held the position on a temporary basis for much of the year.

[19] Playing against Ireland in the 2007 World Cricket League Division One tournament, Smith scored 52 from 47 balls, his only ODI half-century.

[26] It was announced in December that Smith would be given the role, with his first major assignment to be the 2016 World Cricket League Division Four tournament.
