Ian David Stockley Smith (born 28 February 1957 in Nelson, New Zealand) is a former cricket player turned sporting commentator. He played as a wicket-keeper for New Zealand throughout the 1980s and part of the 1990s.

Smith has one of the highest ever strike rates as a batsman for One Day Internationals – 99 runs per 100 balls faced. He also holds the record for the highest score in Tests for a batsman coming in at number nine, which is 173 off 136 balls, scored against India at Eden Park in 1990.[1] During the innings, he became joint holder of the record for most runs scored off a six-ball Test over, striking 24 runs off Atul Wassan.

Currently Smith works a radio announcer on BSport[2] as a breakfast host and is also a commentator for SKY Sport (in New Zealand, commentating on both rugby union and cricket).

His son Jarrod Smith is a football player who played for the Seattle Sounders FC in MLS but is now a free agent and has also appeared for the New Zealand national football team.
