Nine will screen the Victoria-Bitter One Day International series from Sunday, hosted by Mark Nicholas.

The Wide World of Sports commentary team will be led by Mark Taylor, and include Michael Slater, Ian Healy, Michael Clarke and former New Zealand player Ian Smith. Former Pakistani fast bowler Waqar Younis will then replace Smith in the commentary box when Australia take on Pakistan.

Nine will bring cricket fans all the explosive action of the One-Day International Series when Australia takes on New Zealand and Pakistan, beginning this Sunday, December 4.

The rivalry between Australia and New Zealand is always strong and has taken on new significance since they clashed in the epic final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, which Australia won. The last time they met in an ODI series, in New Zealand earlier this year, the Black Caps claimed victory 2-1 to win the Chappell-Hadlee trophy.

The 2016 Victoria Bitter One-Day International Series this summer will take on even greater importance as the Australians look to win back the silverware and reassert dominance over their trans-Tasman rivals.

Australia, the top-ranked ODI team in the world, will then play Pakistan who is looking for redemption after bowing out of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 in the quarter-final at the hands of Australia. Of particular interest will be how Australia’s batting line-up fares against Pakistan’s imposing young bowlers.

Cricket fans can also watch every ball of Nine’s coverage on their phone, tablet or PC with the Cricket Australia Live Pass streaming subscription. The website www.cricket.com.au will carry full highlights of every day’s play so fans don’t miss a moment of the action.

  2. I really wish there’d be come consistency year to year with cricket like in the 80’s and 90’s where you’d have a 5 test series with 1 country plus a one day series with that country and another with a leaders board type table leading up to a finale. Now there’s two test series. two separate short one day series… T20’s on top of it, etc. Just doesn’t all hold interest like it used to as it seems no real actual competition – just a whole bunch of games for the sake of it.
