Gerard Whateley will feature as part of the Fox Cricket commentary team during Kayo SPORTS’ Summer of the Century.
A long-time member of the Kayo SPORTS and DAZN family, Whateley is in his 17th season as host of Fox Footy’s AFL 360 and part of the commentary team that brings every game of every AFL round to viewers throughout the season.
One of Australia’s most recognisable sports commentators, Whateley has called the world’s biggest sporting events, including the AFL Grand Final, Melbourne Cup, Royal Ascot, Super Bowl, and swimming and athletics events at multiple Summer Olympics. He has also been the lead caller on SEN’s cricket commentary team since 2018 and hosts a radio show, daily, on the network in Melbourne.
Whateley joins Alyssa Healy as a new face in the Fox Cricket commentary box for The Summer of the Century, adding to world class line up that features Adam Gilchrist, Isa Guha, Kerry O’Keeffe, Michael Hussey, Mel Jones, Mark Howard, Brendon Julian, Brett Lee, Ian Smith, Michael Vaughan, Mark Waugh, David Warner, and Allan Border.
Fox Sports Managing Director, Steve Crawley, said: “Gerard is one of the most respected voices in Australian sports broadcasting. His preparation and detail is obvious when he is in the commentary box, delivering the best experience for viewers.”
“He has great experience in cricket and will be a strong addition to what is already the best line up of experts.
“I am looking forward to our Fox Cricket audience being able to see just how good Gerard is and for those who already know it through his work on Fox Footy, to be treated to even more of his brilliant commentary.”
Kayo SPORTS commentator Gerard Whateley said: “It’s a tremendous honor to be given the opportunity to join a commentary team of phenomenal strength and depth alongside those I’ve long admired.”
“There’s never been a cricket odyssey like this for an Australian test team. It will captivate us and keep us glued to Fox Cricket.”
The Summer of the Century on Kayo SPORTS began in Bangladesh, with a two-Test series between Australia and Bangladesh, before the men’s team, across all three formats, face South Africa, England, New Zealand, and India, ahead of 150th Anniversary Test Match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March.
In their return to the field after winning the T20 World Cup, the women’s side will host Bangladesh, New Zealand, and South Africa in successive white ball series on home soil from October.
The highly anticipated domestic T20 schedule will begin in Chennai, India, when Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers play in the BBL16 opener at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on December 12, and the WBBL campaign commences on October 29 in Melbourne.
