Subject: Don Smith: England's oldest living male Test cricketer dies aged 97
Written By: Philip Eno on 01/19/21 at 7:37 am
England's oldest living male Test cricketer Don Smith has died aged 97, his former county Sussex have confirmed. Smith played three Tests against the West Indies in 1957 and had a spell as Sri Lanka coach in 1984 before retiring to Australia with his wife Lyn. He passed away peacefully at his home in Adelaide on Sunday. A left-handed opening batsman and medium pace bowler, he scored just under 17,000 runs and took 340 wickets in a 16-year first-class career. Smith was also the second oldest living Test player from any country, with South African all-rounder John Watkins two months older.
