David Lawrence Cornelius McCay (18 November 1943 – 20 September 2016) was a South African cricketer.[1] He played 17 first-class matches, mostly for Western Province, between 1966 and 1974.[2]
McCay was a strongly-built all-rounder who began his first-class career with a six for Western Province against the touring Australian team in November 1966, going on to top-score with 82.[1] Two months later, in the B Section of the Currie Cup, he took 6 for 78 and 8 for 76 in Western Province's victory over Natal B.[3] Apart from those two performances his career was modest, and he played a few more matches over subsequent seasons before retiring.[1]
McCay became a businessman. He and his wife Marlene bought and restored the Constantia Uitsig winery at Constantia, Cape Town, where he established a cricket ground.[1][4][5]
