SUMMARY

Ernest James "Tiger" Smith kept wickets for England before the first World War. His wicket-keeping was competent while his batting was bordered more on attack rather than attrition. Though his international career was cut short, Tiger Smith continued to ply his trade for Warwickshire until 1930. Overall, he figured in 496 first-class matches, claiming close to 900 dismissals in addition to 16997 runs with the bat.
