Smith burst onto the scene at the start of the 2006 season after a useful England Under-19 career with impressive performances in the Championship and C&G Trophy. He is a nagging seamer with the ability to bring the ball back into the right-handers and has already made a habit of bowling batsmen when they leave the ball. He has talent with the bat, too, although this has yet to be fully realised and is a fine slip fielder. His impressive first full season was rewarded with a place in the England Academy squad to be based in Perth during the first part of the 2006-07 Ashes tour. As is often the chase, his second season proved a stiffer challenge but he has time on his side.
