About Alfred Smith

Lived 1812 – 1892 (aged 79). Alfred Smith was a British cricketer.

Alfred Smith (9 July 1812 – 14 January 1892) was an English cricketer notable for his fourteen first-class cricket appearances for Sussex as a gentleman cricketer between 1841 and 1852.

Smith was born in Henfield, Sussex. He was invited to first play for Sussex on 14 June 1841 against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's. On his debut he was dismissed for scores of four and one, batting in the lower order.

Smith would face the MCC once more that year, in August at Brighton, before waiting a whole year for his next first-class match. He played, again for Sussex, on 29 August 1842 against an England XI where he was dismissed by William Hillyer for ten. Smith's activities for the next two years are unrecorded, and he does not feature on a cricket scorecard until June 1844, where he played three matches against East sussex and the Gentlemen of Hampshire. He joined Henfield Cricket Club and featured for them against Brighton that year also.
