Summer’s international cricket season begins next week with Nine’s coverage of the Commonwealth Bank Test Series.

Coverage begins Thursday, November 3, at 12.30pm AEDT with the first test between Australia and South Africa at the WACA in Perth.

This will be hosted by Mark Nicholas with commentary from Mark Taylor, Shane Warne, Ian Chappell, Michael Slater, Ian Healy, Michael Clarke and former England player, Kevin Pietersen.

Tom Malone, Nine’s Director of Sport, said: “Summer is in the air, the cicadas are sounding, and that means it’s time for international cricket. Our commentators and production team are primed to give viewers the best seat in the house all summer long.”

  1. James Brayshaw’s name not mentioned at all… I believe he is now officially out of the commentary team. It may (or may not) have been his decision though.

    1. James Brayshaw has left cricket commentary at 9 where he might be thinking that he would take up Channel 7’s AFL in 2017. Not sure whether he will return to The Footy Show, by the way.
