They can be, they can throw up the odd England/NZ game though.
That series they won saw only one score higher than 260 of the 8 innings completed; the memorable chase with Kusal Perera’s freakish innings (though oddly it was Lasith Embuldenya who was the only Lankan bowler who bagged a five-fer in that match)
The second test was a shoot out.
Awesome get. I just hope they put it on Mate and don't plonk it on their other potato vision channel.

Excellent news.
That's a great get, and good for cricket in Australia - an overseas tour on FTA after a big summer. Awesome.

I reckon it's the first (non Ashes or WTC final) overseas tour since South Africa in 1997.

i reckon thats the first non-ashes series on FTA since the 96 or 97 south african series
edit - jinx...
I'd say you've hit the nail on the head. Probably didn't expect 7 to be in as deep as they were and were trying to get the tour at a discount.

Hopefully Punter makes the trip over and one of the local ex-players. Sangakarra or Russell Arnold would be good.
It will almost certainly be world feed with potentially some hosting in Australia.
I'm expecting a lot of complaints about ads but I believe that accessibility to a wider audience is more important, so I'm happy (and somewhat surprised) about this news. Nine broadcast the cricket for years with ads anyway.

The 1st Test coincides with the WAshes Test.
SL vs AUS: January 29 to February 2, starting at 3:30 PM AEDT
WAshes Test: January 30 to February 2, starting at 2:30 PM AEDT
Which event will be on the main channel, and which will air on 7mate? what goes to non HD when it’s time for News.
Will be interesting tho.

Very surprised to hear that Ch7 have got the rights to show the Sri Lankan test series.
As others have mentioned it's usually only the Ashes test series in England that get shown on FTA these days.
I don't recall Ch9 showing the South African test series in the 90s but I remember them showing a couple of Windies test series.

That’s true too
and Australian Idol, they have been showing ads for that a lot but no start date. Typically it’s the Monday after Aus open & that’s the 27th but that’s when BBL final is. So Idol could be 2nd Feb. If both tests go to final day then 1 will be Non SD from 6pm News until 8:30-9pm when Idol finishes Will be interesting to see what 7 does. It’s great they got it but if it’s SD then the SLC YouTube stream is better
