David Smith (Gloucestershire Cricketer)
David Smith (5 October 1934 – 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 long 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.
