Cricket News: Ian Bishop & Jonty Rhodes to join SEN Test Cricket broadcast team | SEN confirm broadcast team for Australia home Test season

Legendary commentator Ian Bishop will join the star-studded Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) broadcast team for the upcoming Australia-West Indies series. Jonty Rhodes, widely regarded as one of the greatest fielders of all time, will join the SEN team for the Australia-South Africa series beginning on December 17 in Brisbane.

Bishop and Rhodes will be part of an experienced and exciting call team for the summer Tests. Gerard Whateley, whose call of Virat Kohli’s superb innings against Pakistan made waves around the world, will lead the coverage alongside the award-winning Adam Collins.

Rachael Haynes also part of SEN Test Cricket broadcast team

Recently retired Australia legend Rachael Haynes will also be part of the team in her SEN broadcasting debut. She will join a further five Baggy Green holders in Simon Katich, Damien Fleming, Chris Rogers, Brad Hogg and Ian Healy.

Healy is particularly looking forward to watching the West Indies’ fast bowlers go to work after the nation’s dismal T20 World Cup campaign.

“The West Indies are smarting with the loss of their coach and captain following the T20 World Cup. They have some real fast bowlers and big hitters, so I’ll be watching them closely to see how they respond,” said the former Australia wicket-keeper.

“Australia has once again bounced back so strongly in the One Day Internationals against England and I’m expecting that form to carry on into a dominant performance in this series.”

Rounding out the SEN Test Cricket team will be Chief Cricket writer Peter Lalor and Cricbuzz’s Bharat Sundaresan.

Adam Collins emphasised how Test cricket is still the pinnacle, and how SEN team is passionate about bringing the game to the listeners.

“SEN has demonstrated its serious commitment to Test cricket throughout 2022, broadcasting series in venues not only from Australia but also in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and England,” Collins said. “There continues to be something very special about the traditional form of the game, which is why it is front and centre across the network.”

“It is as true today as it ever has been that summer officially starts on the opening day of the First Test Match, and we can’t wait to tell the stories of another summer on Australia’s home of cricket on the radio.”
