Leslie O'Brien 'Chuck' Fleetwood-Smith (born March 30, 1908, Stawell, Victoria, died March 16, 1971, Fitzroy, Victoria) was an Australian cricketer who played in 10 Tests from 1935 to 1938.
Fleetwood-Smith holds the unenviable record of having the most expensive innings bowling figures in Test cricket history: playing against England at The Oval in 1938, he finished with the somewhat startling analysis of 87-11-298-1. [1]
