Some Lesser Known Facts About Tim David
- Tim David is a Singapore-born Australian cricketer, who plays for the Australian national cricket team primarily as a middle-order batter. Earlier, he played international cricket for Singapore national cricket team.
- He was born in Singapore and raised in Perth, Australia. His father, who is of Australian origin, relocated to Singapore in 1990s to work as an engineer. His parents shifted back to Australia when Tim was 2 years old in the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
- As a child, Tim often accompanied his father to the Creswell Park and Belvista Oval cricket grounds, where his father played Fourth Grade cricket for Claremont-Nedlands Cricket Club (CNCC). Besides that, his father was also the head of the local MILO Have-A-Go youth cricket program. In an interview, while talking about it, Tim said,
That’s my earliest memory: being down at Creswell Park and Belvista Oval, which is our second ground, from when I was three years old.”
- Watching his father play cricket, Tim too developed an interest in the game and became a part of the Claremont-Nedlands Cricket Club’s (CNCC) Under-10 team when he was just 8 years old.
- Subsequently, he played age-group cricket with cricketers like Joel Paris, Matt Kelly, Will Bosisto, and Durham opener Cameron Steel. Unlike many of his contemporaries who started playing first-class cricket for state teams and even the national side at a young age, David kept playing second-grade cricket for CNCC for several years.

Playing against Sydney Sixers, he smashed 58 runs off 33 balls, batting at number six, featuring as many as 9 boundaries. He was named the Man of the Match. Keeping up the pace Tim scored 21* off 13, 24 off 15, 21* off 12, and 36 off 17 in the next five matches of the tournament. He ended the BBL season with 279 runs at a strike rate of 153.29.
