In July 2020, Smith travelled to Bryon Bay for a week-long workout with Zocchi before a jam-packed cricket tour commenced with the limited-overs tour of England, followed by the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 and India’s tour of Australia.
Smith surprised the celebrity trainer with his strength and Zocchi was quoted as saying,
Steve Smith can’t stay away from batting
It’s known to cricket fans that Steve Smith loves to bat and how he gets his wife Dani Willis to feed balls to the bowling machine even in the wee hours.
For Zocchi, this comes as a surprise as he regularly witnessed Smith practising his batting in between sets. He said,
Steve Smith’s batting slump
Recently awarded with the Test cricketer of the decade accolade, Smith has hit a batting slump in the four-Test series (Border-Gavaskar Trophy) against India. The former Australian skipper has managed just ten runs from the two Tests, falling to off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin twice.
With the series tied at 1-1, the third Test begins on Thursday at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) - Smith’s home ground where he has scored 611 runs in seven Tests, averaging 67.9.
