SUMMARY
SUMMARY
A powerful left handed opening batsman, Devon Smith comes from Grenada in West Indies. A consistent performer at the domestic level for the Windward islands, Smith came through the ranks and was selected to make his test debut against the touring Aussies in 2003. He made a stroke-filled 62 on debut that showed his early promise with the bat.
Smith bagged a pair in his next test and after indifferent performances was shown the door. But he went back and scored heavily - where he was the leading batsman in the Regional Four Day Competition, scoring 842 runs at an average of 76.54. That prompted the selectors to recall him for the tour to England in 2004 and he made a gutsy ton. But he fractured his thumb during a net session and was unable to take part in the last two tests.
His on-off career continued as he was again dropped after a slump in form. After nearly two years in the wilderness, Smith earned a recall for the tour of India and his consistent show in the ODI series, assured him of a berth in the 2007 World Cup. He continued to feature in tests as an opener, but never hit the heights that was expected of him.
A strong off side player, Smith like all left-handers is powerful on the cut and the pull. His driving contains a touch of arrogance as he likes to hit the ball powerfully. Smith's leg side weaknesses are well known as bowlers keep him quiet capitalising on his inability to play the forcing shots on the on-side.
Smith was selected as an opener for the 2011 World Cup when Barath was injured and made his maiden ODI ton against Ireland. He did well against India too, but his dismissal prompted a collapse that saw his side losing the game. After the World Cup, he was sorted out by Mohammad Hafeez as he fell to him 5 times during the course of the ODI and the test series. Due to his glaring weakness against off spinners coming from round-the-wicket, Smith was completely found out by both Hafeez and earlier by Swann.
The selectors lost patience with Smith after his horror show against Hafeez when he repeatedly fell either LBW or bowled and was dropped from the side after the opening test of the Pakistan series.
