Bhogle will call the Indian Tests live from a studio – only the studio will be nearly 8000km away in Mumbai.
Similar to Vaughan, there were complications for Bhogle coming out to Australia given India is a COVID hotspot, however, Fox say it will sound as though Bhogle is sitting in a commentary box with his co-commentators at the ground.
I’d say both…
So they are using the CA web steam but have Fox Cricket presenters and even have managed to do some pre match analysis with the hosts (on camera)
Just as I predicted.
Is this a sign of Foxtel’s cost-cutting? lol
Technically yes
Fox have never broadcast WBBL outside of simulcasting the matches Seven produce and air, so no, it’s not cost cutting, this is an expansion on previous years’ efforts.
Cricket Australia released the first part of the BBL fixture for 2020/21 season this morning. As reported in News Corp papers today, a hub will be set up in Hobart with teams playing matches in Blundstone Arena or UTAS Stadium in Launceston. There will also be matches in Canberra.
During December, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth-based teams will play their home matches in neutral venues.
Venues for the BBL fixture from January 1 onwards has not been decided, pending the reopening of state borders across Australia. However according to CA website, the five-game finals series will start on January 29 and conclude on Saturday, February 6.
Every BBL match will be shown live on Foxtel, however on December 29, one match will air on Fox Cricket and the other on Fox Sports 503, 505 or 506 as they overlap.
And Metricon Stadium.
As will the Strikers. The Thunder will not, as they will play their’s at Manuka Oval.
It has, but the venues are still TBC.
They’re the same…
One will air on 501 and one will air on (probably) 503 or 506.
Why do the Stars have to play ‘back-to-back’, when no other team does?
Also, why do the Heat play an away game at the Gabba, and Strikers an away game at the Adelaide Oval?
Brilliant.
What a waste of money when they could have used this to produce to a high standard the WBBL Tuesdays
PSL Finals this weekend beIN sports have the rights so anyone know why they are not showing them. Seems odd and there is no European soccer on this weekend. Is there another way to watch
It’s only the PSL don’t worry about it
Is there any Australians at all playing in it? Any why is the PSL even on at the same time as IPL?
This year the PSL is a mostly local competition. Given the fact that Pakistanis are banned from the IPL, it is able to go ahead, with mostly Pakistanis.
I don’t know if they are being broadcast in English.
How did Pakistani players get banned from the IPL?
India hates Pakistan- enough said
Lol yeah, I was gonna write a bit more but this is pretty much it.
A live half hour Fox Cricket Season Launch has popped up in the guide for this Friday at midday.
