SUMMARY

Jim Smith, who was known for bowling long intense spells in county cricket, played 5 Tests for England between 1935 and 1937. He was an attacking batsman by nature - Smith was unafraid to charge down the track to pacers.

Big Smith was a vital cog in the Middlesex machinery, taking as many as 845 wickets to go with 4000-plus runs with the bat. In 1935, he was recognized as one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year. His brother, William, also played first-class cricket.
