An asterisk marks an unbeaten highest score. A dash means the source does not supply a meaningful value, often because the player has no dismissals or wickets for that measure. These figures cover the senior international formats shown; they exclude franchise T20, domestic and youth cricket.

What the numbers show
Across the listed formats, Steve Smith has played 363 international matches, scoring 17,866 runs and taking 64 wickets. These are sums of the individual career rows, not a separate competition record. Keeping the formats visible matters: a Test innings and a T20I innings give a player very different time, risk and scoring opportunities.
Batting: Test contribution
The largest run total in this snapshot comes in Test cricket: 10,972 runs from 225 innings, with 37 hundreds and 45 fifties. The listed 1193 fours and 71 sixes account for 5,198 runs, or about 47.4% of that format’s runs. That calculation describes boundary scoring across a career; it does not establish how quickly the player starts an innings or performs in a particular match phase.
Bowling: ODI wicket return
ODI supplies the most wickets in the record shown, with 28 wickets and best innings figures of 3/16. Read the bowling average alongside economy and strike rate. Average measures runs conceded per wicket, economy measures scoring allowed, and strike rate measures balls per wicket. A low economy by itself does not show whether a bowler regularly takes wickets.
Debuts and career timeline
| Format | Debut date listed by Cricket Australia |
|---|---|
| ODI | 19 February 2010 |
| T20I | 05 February 2010 |
| Test | 13 July 2010 |
A debut date identifies the first appearance in that format. It does not confirm current selection, retirement status or availability for a forthcoming league. For those decisions, use a dated announcement from the relevant board or franchise alongside the career record.
Background and public lifestyle information
The official profile records St George Hospital, Kogarah, New South Wales as Steve Smith’s birthplace and 02 June 1989 as the birth date. These are biographical details, rather than evidence about a current home or private daily routine.
Career totals are measurable sporting statistics. Net worth, personal spending, house values and vehicle collections require different evidence and should not be inferred from appearances or auction headlines. No independently verified financial inventory or complete training and diet log is supplied by the sources used here, so no estimated lifestyle figures are assigned to this player.
How to use this profile before a match
- Choose the same format when comparing two players.
- Check the innings sample before treating an average as established form.
- Use recent scorecards for form; a career total includes earlier seasons.
- Confirm the announced XI and availability separately from statistics.
