A belligerent left-handed opening batsman from
Grenada, Devon Smith was drafted into the West Indies squad ahead of
the Test series against India in March 2002, after making 750 runs
for Windward Islands in the Busta Cup, though he made his debut 13
months later against a far tougher opponent. In his first Test,
against Australia, Smith scored a blazing 62 in a losing cause, but
failed to score in the next Test. Throughout the series he showed
promise, but it wasn't enough, and he was dropped to smoothe off the
rough edges. In 2004, he was selected to open against England, and
he immediately pulled his team out of a hole with a stroke-filled
century. But just as he began to settle into a groove, a freak net
injury left him with a fractured thumb, and he missed the next two
Tests. A good eye compensates for Smith's lack of footwork, and
though he has enjoyed success at home, his ability to perform in
different conditions remains to be seen
