Cricket Australia will have to seek a firm guarantee from Ten about its financial situation before granting any broadcast rights. At the moment Nine is the only company which is keenly interested and can afford to pay for the new broadcast deal.

Nine will not televise this yearâs Matador BBQ Cup one-day tournament, Mitch Cleary revealed on Sportsday this evening, adding every match of the tournament will now be streamed on CA website. If I am correct, it will be the first time since the 1970s that the domestic one-day series will not be broadcast on TV. Demonstrates the low popularity of the format.
Nine will instead show the Womenâs Ashes series, which comprises of three ODIs, one day/night test, and three Twenty20 matches. The series starts on October 22 and ends on November 21.

Surprised they didnât just put it on 9Now.
I am surprised that FOX didnât pick up at least some games.
It will be interesting to see what the quality of the online broadcasts will be like.
Genuinely devastated to hear this. I have thoroughly enjoyed Nineâs coverage over the past couple of years of watching the tournament, and am really disappointed theyâve dropped coverage. I hope that Fox Sports may pick up some matches for broadcast at least.

Michael Slater narrated the Ashes that will come to Exclusively on Nine. He said that the WACA will play its final Ashes match. It should be its final test match.
But Iâm not sure whether the New Perth Stadium will be ready for the 5th ODI (28 Jan 2018).

Perth Stadium is used for matches featuring big Test matches such as England and India. WACA will be used for some Test matches.

So, thatâs that. Harmanpreet Kaur has single-handedly smashed Australia out of the World Cup with 171 not out off 115 balls, including seven sixes and 20 fours. She scored 99 off the last 10 overs, and went from 100 to 150 off only 17 balls. Rain shortened the match to 42 overs each, but India still got to 4-281, just too many for Australia to chase down.
