Fox Sports Live and Exclusive Coverage of Australian Tour of South Africa

First Test begins Thursday March 1 live at 6pm AEDT on Fox Sports 507

Australia will be looking to back up their Ashes glory when they take on Test nation powerhouse South Africa in their four Test series beginning Thursday 1 March.

FOX SPORTS, exclusive on Foxtel, is the only place to see every ball of the series LIVE and in HD with Brendon Julian and Allan Border heading up the commentary team in Durban.

It’s the first time since 1970 that Australia has tackled the Proteas in a four-Test series on foreign soil and Steve Smith’s side will be looking for revenge following their 2-1 home series defeat to South Africa last year.

South Africa will come into the series brimming with confidence after easily disposing of the number one ranked Test nation, India, last month.

Cricket fans can expect to see a full-on pace attack from both nations with six out of the top 11 top ranked Test bowlers participating in the series.

The opening clash will be played in Durban (March 1-5), followed by Port Elizabeth (March 9-13), Cape Town (March 22-26) and Johannesburg (March 30-April 3) with all matches LIVE and exclusive on FOX SPORTS.

I’d say that Brendon Julian and Allan Border will be part of the Superpsort commentary team.

If Julian and Border are going to be in South Africa, I’ll be interested to see who is hosting from the FOX Studios.

[TFTV]

They may host from the ground which has been done before. Or, I would think it would be Tony Squires which has been done before.

[Sifon]

It’s sad Fox Sports take the Supersport commentary. They should be sending their own commentary team over to South Africa. Maybe something that can happen in the future if they get Australian cricket rights and setup Fox Cricket channel.

Record Long Weekend Of Live Sport On Fox Sports

304 hours of LIVE sport, across 13 different codes broadcast LIVE on FOX SPORTS, on Foxtel, from Friday - Monday

JLT Community Series, Australia’s first Test v South Africa, Supercars Adelaide 500, Hyundai A-League, Super Rugby NBL Semi Finals, AFLW and the Matildas at the Algarve Cup just some of the sport on show

FOX SPORTS, on Foxtel, will set a new LIVE sports broadcast record this weekend, with 304 hours of LIVE action delivered from midnight on Friday (March 2), through to 1.00pm EDT on Monday (March 5).

Whether it’s the round ball, the oval, the track or the bat, FOX SPORTS has sports fans covered, with wall to wall coverage of 13 different codes available right throughout the weekend.

Foxtel CEO, Patrick Delany, said: “The choice of live sport on offer for fans across the first weekend in March is fantastic. It really drives home the fact that if you love live sport, you need Foxtel, and it’s never been more affordable for Australian families than right now. For only $39 a month, sports fans will have access to all of their favourite sports, all in the one place, with live, ad-break free during play and HD coverage of the best codes from Australia and around the world.”

Footy fans will be able to watch the best male and female players LIVE in action, with Round 2 of the JLT Community Series, while the AFLW heats up with four massive games.

The Virgin Australia Supercars Championship returns for another explosive season, with fans able to watch Jamie Whincup launch his Championship defence at the season opening Adelaide 500.

The best international cricket will be on display with Australia in action against South Africa in the first Test, plus Aussie Rugby rivalries will come to the fore with a Reds v Brumbies showdown headlining the Super Rugby action.

The Hyundai A-League hits the business end of the season, with just five rounds remaining until the finals series, while the Matildas square off against Portugal in the Algarve Cup.

It’s finals time in the NBL, and the top four teams will square off in two huge clashes across the weekend. Melbourne United face New Zealand Breakers in a 1 v 4 showdown on Saturday, before Adelaide 36ers host Perth Wildcats on Sunday.

Looks like Fox Sports are taking Super Sports pre-match coverage hosted by Mark Nicholas. No Australian exclusive pre-match which is a shame.

[sammy123]

@jthommo

No Australian exclusive pre-match which is a shame.

Maybe because the Fox Sports hosts are actually commentating for the host broadcaster?

[Radiohead]

They could have had Mark Waugh and someone else hosting from the Sydney studios and done a pre match there.

But I think the Super Sport pre match has been very good. Much better than the dross that Nine serves up.

[Frankie]

@Sifon

Maybe something that can happen in the future if they get Australian cricket rights and setup Fox Cricket channel.

Yeah nah, last thing cricket in Australia needs.

[William_C]

I wonder if it includes the newly installed championship round at Albert Park this year. For the non-championship rounds in the last few years, Ten has done it with FOX taking the Ten commentators and feed.

[Daniel_Anderson1]

@jthommo

Looks like Fox Sports are taking Super Sports pre-match coverage hosted by Mark Nicholas. No Australian exclusive pre-match which is a shame.

I wonder if a dual Fox/Nine deal would mean someone like Mark Nicholas being part of the team along with Michael Slater, etc?

[Daniel_Anderson1]

Interesting that Superpsort is using Mark Nicholas, Brendon Julian and Alan Border- has Nicholas ever traveled to do a Aussie match outside of his Nine duties anyway?

[njr]

He’s worked for ICC/Star on their World Cup coverage. Probably the second best known cricket anchor behind Harsha Bhogle.

[Petarkco]

Why did I just see an ad for WA TAB on Fox Sports 506? I thought the ads would be national only or at least state based.

[bacco007]

So Fox have that much live sport today they’ve had to use FSN500 for the NBL - except for Fox League which will all the others have been live, theyre showing repeats still

[Petarkco]

@bacco007

And Fox Sports News moved to A-PAC.

[njr]

Somewhat OT but why are there TPG ads for NBN at a South African Cricket Ground? Is it really cheaper to buy advertising in South Africa than a spot on Fox Sports?
