Are Seven’s Bruce McAvaney, Mike Whitney, Hamish McLachlan, Emma Davenport or Neil Kearney involved in this summer’s cricket, anyone seen anything on BBL or today’s Test?
They each had segments / reporting the past couple of years.

I believe she now goes by Emma Vosti.
She did the Women’s Big Bash a few weeks ago, which was in Sydney, but she might not want to do the Tests since she’s pregnant and would have to be travelling back and forth interstate often.

Hamish did an interview with Pukovski which was shown during the rain delay yesterday, Macca I don’t think has been involved since the first season, and Neil might still do reports later in the season?

Simon is literally at the Adelaide Oval working for Seven on this game.
Phil and Ricky Ponting got into a heated war of words earlier on! Phil had a go at Ricky about Ricky’s friendship with Tim Paine getting in the way of his personal judgement.

Coaching the Strikers.
Working for Spark Sport in New Zealand.
Only came for the one season.
Is a backup caller, and as they are calling the Big Bash from a studio, there is no need for him.
Only really there for the first season.
He’s there.
Working for the ABC, so potentially isn’t doing two slots.

I believe Brendon was contracted to Seven but due to borders and quarantine requirements in NZ, he opted to stay in NZ for this summer.

Test summer off to a flying start on Seven
Day one of First Test reaches 4.03 million*
The much-anticipated battle for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy exploded into life yesterday, with Seven’s live and free coverage reaching 4.03 million people and peaking at 1.31 million.
The third session of day one of the historic day-night Test between Australia and India at Adelaide Oval delivered 998,000 viewers nationally and 673,000 in the capital cities.
The second session had 807,000 national viewers and 536,000 capital-city viewers. Both sessions dominated their timeslots, ranking #1 in 25 to 54s, 16 to 39s and total people.
A total average national audience of 676,000 tuned into cricket’s undisputed No.1 commentary team led by the world’s best commentator Ricky Ponting. That was up 7% on day one of the 2018-19 Second Test between Australia and India in Perth, the best comparison from the fierce rivals’ previous series in Australia given the similar session times.
The capital city audience of 462,000 was up 8% on day one of 2018-19’s Second Test.

Will this lead to a reshuffle to Seven’s commentary team (and those of Fox/SEN/ABC for that matter) for the Boxing Day test in Melbourne? I imagine many commentators and production crew members are from Sydney, and would have flown into Adelaide in the past few days leading into the first test which started yesterday.

It has affected the current test.
Brett Lee of Fox has flown back to Sydney to be with his family, the SEN commentators are going back to Sydney to call the game from a television screen, and Seven and Fox have stood down multiple staff members while they wait for the results of COVID-19 tests. One of affected people is Seven’s director.

Some of the people were in the northern beaches area of Sydney within the past week. That’s why.
