Cuthbert Fairbanks-Smith (18 March 1885 – 25 May 1948) played first-class cricket for Somerset in two matches in 1921.
He joined a Militia battalion of the Royal Berkshire Regiment in January 1903 as a second lieutenant.
Somerset played the two university sides, first Oxford and then Cambridge in consecutive matches in a single week in mid-May.
According to Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, Somerset started the week at Oxford in some disarray: "Somerset were in such a plight that they had to complete their side by including four Oxford men," it said.
It is not clear who the fourth was, but as all the other players in the Oxford match had played before for Somerset, Wisden could have meant Fairbanks-Smith.
