Was a cricketer who played for Victoria and Australia. Known universally as "Chuck", he was the “wayward genius” of Australian cricket during the 1930s. A gifted slow bowler who could spin the ball harder and further than his contemporaries, Fleetwood-Smith’s cricket suffered from a lack of self-discipline that also characterised his personal life.[1] Unfortunate in that his career coincided with those of Bill O'Reilly and Clarrie Grimmett, he played only ten Test matches but left a lasting impression with one delivery in particular. His dismissal of Wally Hammond in the fourth Test of the 1936–37 Ashes series rivalled Shane Warne’s ball of the century. He has the unwanted record of conceding the most runs by a bowler in a Test match innings.
