<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
David Mark Ward (born 10 February 1961 at Croydon, Surrey) is a former aggressive batsman and occasional wicket-keeper for Surrey County Cricket Club, playing from 1985 until 2004. In all first-class matches, he scored 8139 runs at an average of 38.39, with 16 centuries and a highest score of 294 not out.[1] He scored "a remarkable 2,072 first-class runs in 1990, including seven hundreds".[1]
Nicknamed "Gnasher" for his prominent teeth, Ward was something of a cult personality as a player.[1] He is now a coach at Whitgift School.
Within the conservative and restrictive world of cricket whites, Ward was able to demonstrate a little eccentricity, occasionally choosing to wear a cap or even helmet decorated in the traditional Harlequin pattern more associated with Douglas Jardine and other players of yester-year.
Ward Currently plays club cricket for Old Whitgiftians CC in the Surrey Championship when his school duties allow.
