David Michael Green (10 November 1939 – 19 March 2016) was a Welsh first-class cricketer who played for Oxford University, Lancashire and Gloucestershire.
A fair-haired right-handed batsman often used as an opener and a medium-pace bowler, he went to Brasenose College, Oxford, from Manchester Grammar School and was a regular and successful player for three years from 1959 to 1961, turning out for Lancashire in his holidays.
After a year away playing in league cricket in 1963, he came back to Lancashire in 1964 and was a regular in the first team for three seasons.
In 1965, with the benefit of playing in 35 first-class matches, he set a record that is unlikely ever to be beaten by scoring more than 2,000 runs without a single century: his highest for the season was 85.
In the event, the only honour he received was to be selected as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1969.
