Steven Peter Devereux Smith is an Australian cricketer who currently plays for the New South Wales Blues. An All-rounder, Smith bats right-handed and bowls right arm Leg spin. Smith has played for the Kent Second XI, New South Wales, the Sutherland Cricket Club and Illawong Menai Cricket Club. His most notable achievement to date was being the leading wicket taker at the 2008 KFC 20/20 competition. This was despite only playing 4 out of the 5 games. He took 4/15 against Queensland and finished with 9 wickets overall.[1] Due to his efforts, he was named the second best player of the tournament.[2]

Smith made his First Class debut against Western Australia at the SCG on January 24, 2008. He scored 33 in his only innings as NSW defeated WA outright.[3]

He was part of the New South Wales team that won the 2009 Twenty20 Champions League.

Smith recently achieved his highest score in One Day Domestic (ODD) competitions in Australia against Tasmania. Following a middle order collapse, Smith resurrected the innings with a quickfire 81 off 58 deliveries, taking the Blues total to a respectable 271. The game was lost despite Smith's efforts.

Smith was called up to the Australian Test side to cover for spinner Nathan Hauritz who was in doubt for Boxing Day Test against Pakistan, but Hauritz managed to recover.[4]

Playing in a club match, right-handed Smith took guard left-handed and hit a six. [5]

He made his One Day International debut for Australia in the 5th match of the ODI Series against the West Indies on February 19th, 2010.
