It'll be all those english commentators with Warnie popping up every now and then. Not sure we'll get any other Aussie commentators.

Tim Gilbert will host Nine's broadcast from Sydney, joined on the expert panel by Ashes-winning Australian captains Ian Chappell and Mark Taylor, and former Test players Ian Healy, Michael Slater and Brett Lee.

There will undoubtedly be a match thread for each test.

There will undoubtedly be a match thread for each test.

Which will be posted when...

It's just that all news leading up to the test I think should be posted in the supposed thread.

Not a bad idea. Feel free to make the thread. Sure the mods wouldn't mind.

If it's team-related news, it's already in the Ashes Squad thread.

It'll be interesting to see whether Fox and 9 both use the English commentary or provide their own.

The appearance of Tim Gilbert, Mark Taylor and Ian Healy confirms that I'll be watching this on Fox Sports, especially if the "non-studio commentary" is the same.

Less ads, and I believe a higher quality of HD as well.

Me? A newcomer?

Haha I will if you want, but who are the mods on this board?

Coverage will be woeful here given it will be the one eyed Sky Sports team on both 9 and Fox. If Sky can send their commentators all over the world for every away series England play, why can't Nine or Fox send over a proper team for the one away series that the fans care about most?

 

[damochandler]

i thought fox were going to have their own commentators commentating on procedings

[deedog2]

Anyone one know of a live stream for those that are in countries with no broadcast?

A bunch of flogs if you ask me.

Sadly, this is true...

Fox usually just have a commentator join the overseas commentary team.I guess it'll be Border as he's over there now.

 

[legend166]

Wait, Channel 9 are broadcasting it as well as Fox Sports?

I literally had no idea that was happening. That's the best news I've heard this year. That means I can watch it in my room instead of trying to battle for position with the family in the lounge room with Foxtel.

 

[damochandler]

i think fox are sending over their own team and i heard vaughan will be joining them

 

[Ducky Tie]

A bunch of flogs if you ask me.

One in particular.

Stoked with it being 5:30pm to ~ 1am in WA, will probably only be half watching the first few hours but can be relaxing for the main sessions and no stress staying till the last ball if it's interesting enough. Feels like we've been waiting forever for this one

I don't know where you live but if you live in mainland Europe you can supposedly watch the live coverage on Youtube: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cr...n-YouTube-this-summer-in-mainland-Europe.html
