Former Aussie test batsman, Adam Gilchrist, has signed up to TEN’s Big Bash League commentary team.
He will join former team mate Ricky Ponting for the event which will be broadcast from December.
TEN CEO Hamish McLennan, said: “Adam is one of the greatest cricketers Australia has ever produced and we are very excited that he has agreed to join the team at TEN.
“The combination of Adam and Ricky – plus other high-profile commentators we will announce soon – is great news for cricket fans and will ensure the KFC T20 Big Bash League will be a major television event for all Australians.”
Gilchrist said: “The success of the Big Bash League last season shows T20 cricket has a prominent place not only in the cricket calendar but also in the minds of cricket followers of all ages. I’ve no doubt Network TEN will continue to not only grow the game, but deliver fantastic perspective and entertainment for our viewers.”
TEN’s Head of Sport, David Barham, added: “I have enjoyed watching Adam’s remarkable career in cricket. We are thrilled to have Adam join our KFC T20 Big Bash League commentary team.”

Looks like Ten is making a come back. lets hope the share holders leave the decisions to the CEO.
Good expert signings by TEN. I hope the rest of the commentary team is just as good.
Good signing. Gilchrist, Mike Hussey and Warne have been the best of the very recent retirees to try commentary. Glenn McGrath not so much! I think Ponting will be good too, if he maintains that hint of humour.
Awesome, Gilly isn’t a bad choice at all
