Yes, for ABC Radio.
Only a three-man team for tonight’s Twenty20 match in Brisbane for MSR: Bruce Eva, Darren Lehmann and Carl Rackemann.
The team for the Melbourne match will be Tim Lane, Kristen Beams, John Emburey and Brad Hodge.
Rackemann is a nice bloke.
But sadly just has the type of voice that’s somewhat hard to listen to.

Instead of doing ball-by-ball commentary this summer, Triple M have announced they’ll air a cricket show called ‘Willowtalk’ on Saturday mornings during December and January.
It seems like the show will utilize a lot of the people who were involved with their cricket coverage over the last two years like Isa Guha, Adam Gilchrist, Gus Worland and Neroli Meadows

Tom Moody is dping some Ball By Ball Commentary with MSR After previously being a special Comments Man from 2012 2015 when MacQuarie v radio network then know as FairFam Radio Network broadcast Cricket and Tom Moody is doing a great job. And SEN’s Commentary team is doing a great jib as it is their first time as a cricket Radio Broadcaster and we know what the ABC has done over such a long time with and fur Cricket that we don’t need to shout too loudly for them
I listened to a bit of commentary from both MSR and SEN on my drive home from work, and SEN team is doing a good job for its first ever stint at a cricket match in Australia.
I agree. SEN coverage is pretty well polished. Thought I’d sample all 3 stations but found myself just sticking with SEN the last 2 days.
Is MSR’s coverage syndicated anywhere else beyond Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth (DAB+)? Did 5AA take it in previous years? I guess with SEN taking their coverage into Adelaide there’s no real market for 5AA to.
I don’t think so. It was mentioned at the start of this thread that Crocmedia has exclusive rights to broadcast cricket in regional areas. I assume regional stations will be taking SEN’s coverage.
Glenn Miotchell will Join te MSR Cimmentary team for the Second Test at Oorus Sraduium in Pertyh stsrting on Fryuday at 1pm EST 10AM EWST
Good to hear Glenn making a return to the airwaves.
