David Smith (5 October 1934[1] – 17 December 2003) was an English cricketer, who played in five Tests for England in India in 1961–1962.
He was one of a trio of pace bowlers, along with Alan Brown and Butch White, who were given their opportunity on the eight Test, five-month tour of India and Pakistan.
However, his efforts in the heat and dust of the Indian subcontinent, did not do sufficient to earn him a chance to bowl in an England Test series at home.
He was a lower-order right-handed batsman, and a medium-fast right-arm bowler, who played for Gloucestershire for fifteen seasons from 1956, usually opening the bowling in partnership with Tony Brown.
Smith played in only the five Indian Tests, missing the three in Pakistan, and took six wickets in a series dominated by spin bowling.
