Darryl Donald Smith (born 8 June 1960) is a former Australian cricketer who played several matches for Western Australia during the early 1980s.
Born in Adelaide, South Australia, Smith played colts and under-19 cricket for Western Australia,[1] and was subsequently chosen to captain the Australian under-19 cricket team in two Tests and one One Day International against the touring England under-19 side during the 1978–79 season.[2][3]
A right-handed all-rounder bowling medium pace, he debuted at state level during the 1980–81 season, playing a single match for Western Australia in the limited-overs McDonald's Cup.[4] In the match, played against Victoria at the WACA Ground in February 1981, Smith scored 42 runs from 23 balls, an innings which included three sixes.[5] He again played one match for Western Australia in the following season's competition, and subsequently spent the 1982 English season playing for the Accrington Cricket Club in the Lancashire League.[6][7] His season as the club's professional was not entirely successful—from 26 matches, he took 45 wickets at an average of 21.26,[8] but scored only 382 runs at an average of 18.19, with one century and no half-centuries.[9]
Smith did not again play for Western Australia until the 1984–85 season, when he played two limited-overs matches, as well as his first and only first-class match.[10] His sole first-class match was played against the touring Sri Lankans, and he took two wickets in Sri Lanka's first innings.[11]
