Rodney Smith (born 6 April 1944, Batley, Yorkshire, England) was an English first-class cricketer, who played for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1969 and 1970. Smith was a right-handed batsman, who played five first-class matches and three one day games. He scored 99 first-class runs, with a best of 37 not out against Gloucestershire. His slow, left arm orthodox spin bowling, was not called upon. First-class cricket is a class of cricket that consists of matches of three or more days' scheduled duration, that are between two sides of eleven players and are officially adjudged first-class by virtue of the standard of the competing teams. Matches must allow for the teams to play two innings each, although, in practice, a team might only play one innings or none at all.
