David John Sincock (born 1 February 1942, North Adelaide, South Australia) is a former Australian cricketer who played in three Tests from 1964 to 1966.
Nicknamed "Evil Dick", Sincock was called "one of the most interesting bowlers I have ever played against" by Garry Sobers, who claimed that Sincock turned the ball more than any other bowler he had faced and had an unreadable googly.[1] However, Sobers noted that Sincock was too inconsistent, bowling an over of long hops and full tosses for every unplayable delivery.[1] His last was against England Third Test at Sydney in 1965-66, Sincock was hit for 0/98, but made a fighting 29 and 27 as Australia suffered their worse home defeat in over 50 years. The selectors promptly dropped fives player including Sincock and the captain Brian Booth, neither of whom played for Australia again.
