No doubt Tubby will be on Nine if they get back cricket. Also the familiar theme will make a comeback.
As for 7, they need a different direction like what 10 did with Iām a Celeb over summer with no domestic sport.

Mark Nicholas would also make a comeback. He is on Supersport for South African home test matches

Not sure if he would. I would like him to of course.

Mark would be there, Mel if sheās able. Tony Jones, Roz Kelly (and maybe by extension her husband Morne Morkel). Youād think maybe Steve OāKeefe (at least in the studio).
I think it will be a similar style to the World Cup/last English Ashes series. Studio with two at the ground. I think the difference will be if they win the home rights before then. If they do, then I can see them doing more from the grounds, but if they donāt/itās not completed then or in time then they will do 2019 style.

The Sunday night T20 Final appears to be on 9 AND 9Gem in all markets except Perth (9Gem only), though BNE and ADL will only get it on both from the conclusion of the 6pm news on 9 (due to timezone differences).
Itās unusual for Nine to screen on both these days.

Thatās different from the new schedule TVCynic posted this morning.

Broadcast of the T20 match ended at 10:23PM (AEDT). In WA, 9GEM went straight into continuing coverage of the Billie Jean King Cup between Australia and Belgium.

Oh, looks like neither YoorTV or eBroadcast have updated then, I checked both.
Its a bit presumptuous of Nine to have scheduled it way then given their very average performances in the T20 World Cup!

They might have looked at the weather, expecting a bucket load of around 20 - 30mm on Sunday.
So instead of the cricket they have switched back to normal programming, instead of wasting a night.
There is also talk that ICC might be moving the final game start time or finish time due to the weather.
It might start at 3pm, to get it over before it comes or even finish later than programmed.
I highly doubt Nine want to play roulette with their own programming and instead have a stable line up on nine and let GEM be the throw around station.

I guess this is a good spot to put this:
Richie talking about his broadcasting history at Nine and elsewhere, among a few other things.

He has done a lot of commentary for Super Sport and some for Sky sport since then.

Are they in Australia or have they gone the cheap and nasty route and calling from a South African studio?
Back when studio calling was unheard of for cricket, I remember on a previous tour, Supersport tried to go cheap and nasty and take Nineās commentary team if they could get Shaun Pollock to join them, but Nine said no.

As you can hear in this video (at least from 4:40)

Based on that video, Supersport has Mark Nicholas, Pommie Mbangwa, Dale Steyn, Shaun Pollock and Mark Waugh. We know Pollock and Waugh are at the ground so at least they have some commentators there.

Although at the start they used the first stint from Fox, so whether that is something ongoing or just an error in the highlights upload Iām not sure.
