Today’s First ODI between Australia and India will only be on ABC Radio. Last summer (2019-20) Macquarie Sports Radio covered the ODI series too. I don’t think SEN have ever covered ODIs at all. Only tests in recent summers. ---

Wonder what will happen on Sunday on 1170 AM ? The Spirit of Sport may be a bit late because of the cricket on 1170. I assume cricket will have the priority or that is the contract with NSW Council of Churches? (A bit like the AFL on Triple M Sydney over the NRL in past years) They can still run the show on DAB and then join it later on 1170 AM? Edit: It seems like SEN are not doing today’s match. I was mistaken. ---

> [@tonks8526](#): > > I don’t think SEN have ever covered ODIs at all. Only tests in recent summers. That’s the only international format they’ve had the rights to. As such, it’s strange that they aren’t covering the ODIs even though they (seemingly) now have the rights to broadcast them. That though means the ABC gets to enjoy something they haven’t had in recent years - radio exclusivity ---

It is a bit strange they don’t do it, in my view, I would of thought SEN, the home of live sport, no matter the form of international cricket I would of thought SEN would’ve jumped at the opportunity. Especially to help launch the 1170 station in Sydney given MSR had the rights and did bring the one day games into Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Its is also India. Probably the 2nd most popular team in terms of potential ratings and sponsorship (for a radio station) behind England touring Australia. ---

I think they were caught a bit by surprise though. Macquarie Radio (now Nine Radio) only recently relinquished the rights. Also knowing how Cricket Australia operate (at least in regards to TV rights!) maybe they infact wanted more money from SEN if they were to pick up the ODI rights too. ---

ABC’s commentary team for the first ODI between Australia and India: Jim Maxwell, Brett Sprigg, Andrew Moore, Ed Cowan, Alex Blackwell and Stuart Clark. Ian Chappell and Callum Ferguson (captain of BBL’s Sydney Thunder) will join the line-up for game two on Sunday, replacing Cowan and Clark. ---

Indian legend Sunil Gavaskar will not only be part of Seven’s commentary team for the upcoming test series between Australia and India, but also make a presence at ABC Radio’s commentary box during the tests. This afternoon he had a three-way chat with ABC Grandstand host Matt Clinch and Aussie great Ian Chappell. ---

Well it wasn’t 1539 am on Sydney when I tuned in. I could tune into SEN Melbourne digital to get it. It’s interesting how the church still has control of 1170 SEN. Even dab SEN Sydney had the spirit of sport show. ---
