Razor Smith

English cricket player (1877-1946) · United Kingdom · On the map · Athletes · Died at 68

William Charles "Razor" Smith was a Surrey slow bowler. Nicknamed "Razor" because of his extreme thinness, Smith was a frail man and prone to serious injury; he could rarely get through a full season's cricket, but when fit and healthy, could command the sharpest off-break among bowlers of his day.

Razor Smith is read about 1 times a day, in 5 languages.

About this person

He was also able to bowl a somewhat faster ball with a very high flight that turned a little from leg and, with any help from the pitch, would get up almost straight.
