Clea Rosemary Smith (born 6 January 1979) is an Australian former cricket player.[2] She played in the Australian national cricket team in all three formats: Test, One Day International (ODI), and Twenty20 International (T20I).[3] [4]
Smith played 165 domestic limited overs matches for the Victorian Spirit including 117 Women's National Cricket League (WNCL) games.[1] She also played 37 Women's Twenty20 cricket matches.[1] In November 2007, she took a hat-trick bowling in a WNCL match against Western Australia. She finished the match with 5 wickets and conceded only 10 runs, which were the best bowling figures she achieved in her career.[5] [1] When she retired from cricket, she was one of only three bowlers to take a hat-trick in a WNCL match.[6]
Smith played one test, 48 One Day Internationals and 13 Twenty20 Internationals for Australia.[2] She holds the record for the highest ever test score made by a female cricketer in Women's cricket history batting at number 11 of 42 runs.[7] She retired in May 2012 after a 14-year playing career.[8] [6]
