I cant remember what aired on that night instead, BUT a few years later there was a charity all stars cricket game featuring Warnie and Alfie Langer that aired on NBN instead of Sydney. programming- it ended early and NBN screened Diagnosis Murder

Your memory is better than mine! I don’t remember that at all.
The only reason I can think of is that it might have been played in Sydney and was thus subject to blackout provisions in the host city that existed back then?

1993 is correct.

That is quite odd for NBN to buy something like that from FOX/Pay TV.
I know they did it for Knights games, but that was more relevant.

I believe it was just after Galaxy went bust and when Austar *which in 1998 only had around 300,000 subscribers nationally - at the time Austar was the regional Foxtel platform.
Im actually trying to find the exact date - i think the game was played at the Gabba
