David Lloyd (born March 18, 1947 in Accrington, Lancashire, England) is a former English cricketer who played county cricket for Lancashire and also played Test cricket and one-day international cricket for England. He also played semi-professional football for Accrington Stanley. A left-handed batsman, he played 9 Tests and with the bat he scored 552 runs at an average of 42.46 with one double-hundred (214*) and no fifties. He is now working as a commentator and pundit for Sky Sports, where his analysis is usually delivered in a light-hearted manner.

Prior to becoming a pundit, "Bumble" was a first class umpire and a respected coach. He was the man in charge for the majority of Lancashire's one-day successes of the mid 1990s and was England coach from 1996 to 1999, resigning after a disappointing World Cup on home soil.

Lloyd's son Graham Lloyd was also a professional cricketer for Lancashire and played One Day International cricket for England during his father's spell as coach.

Ian Botham: "Where were you last night?"

David Lloyd: "An oyster bar....apparently it puts lead in your pencil. I don't know about that. I think it only matters if you have got someone to write to."
