Nine’s “Summer of Cricket” begins this week at the Adelaide Oval where Australia play South Africa in the first of the KFC Twenty20 Internationals.
Nine’s commentary team will feature Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry, Ian Chappell, Mark Taylor, Ian Healy, Michael Slater, Shane Warne, James Brayshaw, Brett Lee and Mike Hussey, with Mark Nicholas hosting the coverage.
After the three Twenty20 match-ups, cricket fans will feast on two Carlton Mid ODI Series and the Commonwealth Bank Test Series – and then the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 gets underway. This will then be followed by the broadcast of the 2015 Mid-Year Ashes in England.
Cricket fans will also be able to watch every ball of Channel Nine’s coverage on their phone, tablet or PC with the Cricket Live streaming subscription. The website www.cricket.com.au/live will carry complete highlights of every day’s broadcast plus extended features from The Cricket Show, so fans won’t miss a moment of the action.
The Wide World of Sports social media team will be live tweeting every game and providing exclusive access to what goes on behind the scenes throughout the season.

Thanks for the heads up, yet another reason to give Nein a wide berth
Does TEN and Nine have the same criket promo maker?
Reminds me to ramp up the PVR library.
Cannot wait for the cricket on Nine.
Nine has the best coverage of the cricket.
Watch the golf on Seven if you want.
I only like the short form of the game on a different network and plus the other network is a lot more tolerable
Cricket zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Cricket in general – pass
More James Brayshaw??
*bangs head on desk repeatedly*
Actually there is some coverage on GEM, as noted.
Of course there is no hd
@matthutchinson10 – Ian Healy is a good wicketkeeper where he holds the records for the most dismissals.
Not sure whether James Brayshaw will be commentating Boxing Day Test at the MCG or not.
“Summer Of Cricket”? Isn’t that the name of Nine’s cross-promotional vehicle for The Block where the same few promos for shows “coming soon” are played over and over and attempts are made to link healthy sport with battered and fried junk food? Silly me, I thought it had something to do with stumps, fielding and leather on willow.
@Shoudy Chen His niece plays for the national team, so I guess they thought it would be a good idea for him to commentate the matches.
Enjoying the coverage on fox sports in HD from the crowd less stadiums with decent commentary that isn’t promoting disgusting fried chicken and the block.
Cricket in SD on nine – pass.
Ian Healy commentating women’s T20s matches? You gotta be kidding!
And just like the Four Nations this month, the only games shown in HD are the ones that don’t involve Australia.
