Batting above his average? Steve Smith's wife Dani exposes the cricket superstar's bedroom antics ahead of the Sydney Test - and they're not as steamy as you might think
The wife of legendary cricketer Steve Smith has revealed just what the batsman does in their bedroom on the night before a Test match.
Dani Smith filmed her husband dressed head to toe in his match whites shadow batting at the end of the bed while the Big Bash League played on the TV behind him on Wednesday night.
The pair were forced to spend more than four months apart while Smith, 31, travelled around the world playing for Australia, with the couple only managing to reunite for New Year's Eve.

'Like a kid on Christmas Eve,' Dani captioned the Instagram story.
The batsman replied to the hilarious footage on his own Instagram, sharing the video and captioning it: 'Sometimes you've just got to shadow bat in full kit to get the feel'.
The couple weren't able to spend Christmas together because Dani was denied entry into the Cricket Australia team camp in Melbourne due to new Covid-19 restrictions.
She had travelled from Sydney to Melbourne to be with her husband, after being apart for 121 days because of his sporting commitments.
Australia and India will face off on Thursday as the third Test begins at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Smith is famous for obsessively practicing with the bat during his downtime.
During quarantine he was known to wake up his fellow teammates several rooms away who could hear him banging his bat on the floor in the early hours of the morning.
Smith first met Dani, who was studying law, back in 2011.
He popped the question in 2017 and the pair tied the knot a year later in New South Wales' Southern Highlands.
