After a hard fought 40 years at the crease, the Ch9 Commentary Team have been dismissed and are currently trudging back to the pavilion, and with them the oft ill-reputed Optus digital rights. Striding out in brand new kit (and potentially with brand new faces) are the Matthew Hayden-like cricket behemoths Fox Sports and the wet behind the ears rookie Ch 7. 

On this special Sports Media Deep Dive - the crew from Sporting Chance Media discuss the future of cricket broadcasts in Australia including: 

• Should all international cricket matches be on FTA television?

• Fox Sports have committed to more content but will it mean more eyeballs?
  

• Is this moment of forced refresh and change a blessing in disguise?
  

• How would you build the new Ch 7 Cricket Commentary Team? What do you want from a cricket broadcast?
  

• Does this actually create more opportunities for independent providers and broadcasters?
  

• What's the future for Sporting Chance's cricket coverage?
