Dave Langford-Smith

Born 7 December 1976 in Sydney, New South Wales,[3] Langford-Smith's first two Ireland matches were played in June 2005, but he was playing against Ireland for the MCC as Ireland warmed up for the 2005 ICC Trophy.[5] He made his debut for Ireland proper on 23 April 2006, playing against Hampshire[4] in a C&G Trophy match.[6]

He continued playing in the C&G Trophy that year,[6] and made his first-class debut on 17 May 2006 in an 2006 ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Namibia.[7] This was followed by a C&G Trophy match against Middlesex at Lord's[6] and the aforementioned ODI against England in Belfast, which was his[8] and Ireland's first One-Day International.[9]

Langford-Smith then played in the 2006 European Championship in Scotland in August,[10] playing against Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands and Scotland. This was followed by a match against the MCC at Lord's[4] and an Intercontinental Cup match against Scotland in Aberdeen.[7]

Langford-Smith's next matches for Ireland were in Division One of the World Cricket League in Nairobi in early 2007,[4] playing in ODIs against Scotland, Kenya, Canada and the Netherlands.[8] He then played in an Intercontinental Cup match against the UAE in Abu Dhabi[7] before heading to the West Indies to take part in the 2007 Cricket World Cup.[8]

He played in all nine of Ireland's matches in the 2007 World Cup, taking seven wickets,[11] and has continued in the Irish side since, playing in the 2007 Friends Provident Trophy[6] and in the final of the Intercontinental Cup against Canada.[7] This is his most recent game for Ireland at the time of writing.[4] He was not named in Ireland's squad for their ODIs against India and South Africa in June 2007 due to injury,[12] though he turned out for his club, Phoenix Cricket Club, the day after the squad was announced.[13]
