David Pithey
David Bartlett Pithey (born 4 October 1936, Salisbury, Rhodesia) is a former South African cricketer who played in eight Tests from 1963 to 1967. As well as playing Currie Cup matches in South Africa, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University. Christopher Martin-Jenkins described him as "spasmodically brilliant".〔Christopher Martin-Jenkins, ''The Complete Who's Who of Test Cricketers'', Rigby, London, 1983, p. 306.〕 His brother, Tony, also played Test cricket for South Africa; they played together in five of the Tests on the 1963–64 tour of Australasia.
==Early career==
An off-spin bowler and useful batsman at various positions in the order, David Pithey made his first-class debut for Rhodesia in 1956–57. For South African Universities against the Australian touring team in 1957–58 he took 5 for 105 in the first innings and scored 40 in the second innings to help his side avoid defeat.〔Wisden 1959, p. 801.〕 He played regularly in domestic cricket before winning a Rhodes Scholarship and taking up studies at Oxford University in 1959.〔(List of Rhodes Scholars )〕 He played 37 first-class matches for the university team in 1960, 1961 and 1962, hitting his first century, 133 against Glamorgan at Oxford in May 1961, when he opened the batting. He took his career-best figures of 7 for 47 (off 27 overs) against the Australian touring team two weeks later, also at Oxford, in what Wisden described as a "devastating spell" in which he "perplexed the Australians".〔Wisden 1962, p. 288.〕 In 1962 he appeared briefly for Northamptonshire in the County Championship, and also played for the Gentlemen in the last Gentlemen v Players match to be played at Lord's.
Along with his cricket blue for Oxford he also gained a hockey blue.
Returning to South Africa for the 1962–63 season he played for Rhodesia in the "B" Section of the Currie Cup, scoring 556 runs at 32.70 and taking 26 wickets at 26.88. Against North-Eastern Transvaal at Pretoria, opening the batting, he hit his highest first-class score of 166.
