Steve Smith, the star of Episode 105 of The Howie Games, returns for a special Ashes deep dive.

One of the greatest players Australia has ever produced sits down for an honest, thoughtful and fascinating look at the contest that has shaped so much of his career: the Ashes.

Across this special, thanks to Kayo, Smithy opens up on the moments that defined him, the magic of 2019, the battles that pushed him to the edge, the celebrations that live on forever, and the sting of defeat that still lingers.

He shares how he trains for longevity, why New York life helps him disappear into the crowd, and how the weight of expectation sits on the shoulders of a current champion.

A champion of the game, back for another chapter and a rare insight into what the Ashes really mean to him.

Watch Kayo for the best Test Match coverage, and every Big Bash game Live and Exclusive all summer long.
