Blockbuster World test championship final match between Australia and India, at The Oval starting on June 7, will be broadcast on free-to-air television in Australia. So no need for a subscription this time around

The one-off Test match on neutral turf at The Oval in south London from June 7 will be shown live and free on Seven, and streamed on the network's digital service, 7plus.

The previous WTC final in 2021, when New Zealand beat India, was shown on Foxtel and Kayo Sports, -so for the first time, everyone gets to watch the final.

Might possibly be the first time Ponting and Gilchrist have shared a commentary booth since they were part of the Ten network's Big Bash coverage between 2013 and 2017.
First time World test championship live on free to air TV
First time Australia in world test championship final
Might be first time Aus and Ind have faced off in England for a test match (can't remember any other instance).
Enjoy.

        Because australia is playing. Lots of ad revenue to be had. Not from the goodness of their heart. Its a strategic calculated decision with profits in mind.

            @Royale with cheese: Good point. Both booze and betting ads should not be shown with any sports coverage on TV as lot of kids with impressionable minds watch it. Ban them just like tobacco ads. Long overdue in my opinion.

          It's a test match, the ads will come at the ends of an over, use that time to do as you please…

          You wouldn't belive how indian tv channels run ads on a live cricket game. As soon as last bowl is bowled they run to press the ad button. Sometimes people miss what happens in last ball bowled because they go into break too quick. And every over they run it to last second. Coming back from break often first bowl is already bowled. Its a joke

          • Piranha2004 on 21/05/2023 - 22:54

            @Notacommie: And? Where do you think all the money in world cricket comes from? Its certainly not ticket sales…..

        Same, stopped using the antenna around 18 months ago. Hardly ever watch anything on the commercial channels, maybe the odd rugby league game. Every now and again I'm amazed to see that rubbish like Sunrise and Today are still airing with the same old presenters and still have an audience.

      Nobody here pays $25 for Kayo. I'm currently getting it for $5. But I agree, it's good to know if you like cricket.

        How U getting it for $5

        • kiriakoz on 21/05/2023 - 16:36
          -4

          I stopped using it and they kept sending me deals, this one was $5/month for 3 months. At the time, I was on an introductory deal using my wife's phone number but when that ended, I switched across.

          I turned down $0 for one month to use the $5 for 3 months.

          Got to play hard to get a little bit to get these deals though.

          • kiriakoz on 21/05/2023 - 17:18

            @kiriakoz: I'm getting negged for getting Kayo for $5 and explaining how? Fair enough, I guess.

          • freefall101 on 21/05/2023 - 18:45

            @kiriakoz: I was pretty annoyed to not get that offer (this one - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/767434), I was offered 50% off and one month free but never $5 a month. I'd pay that to avoid the ads between overs.

            • kiriakoz on 21/05/2023 - 19:03

            @kiriakoz: Didn't downvote you but it isn't really useful for people who use it all year round, its also targeted, doesn't happen to every account that isn't being used, I have a second account that hasn't been offered a deal in over 2 years

            • kiriakoz on 21/05/2023 - 22:00

              @freoleo: I appreciate some people use it year round, but I'm a bargain hunter first. Happy to have a few months off Kayo every so often if it means I continue getting it for a good price.

              Odd that your second account hasn't gotten a deal in that long. Do you log into it occasionally? Maybe it looks at the number of logins etc, not sure why otherwise.

    • ezzaf on 21/05/2023 - 18:17

      Get a boost sim with a couple of dollar profit, use it to sign up for a kayo free trial, watch the test with fewer ads.

      • freoleo on 21/05/2023 - 21:07

        Is the test going to be on Kayo? 7 are saying they have digital exclusivity?

              @freoleo: I think you're right actually. I re-Googled it. A lot of websites said Kayo, but I reckon they might've meant the previous one or their wrong. There's a lot of incorrect information, I'm part of the problem.

    • mlburnian on 21/05/2023 - 17:59

      Actually it’s the ideal time zone as you can watch it after work. The pitch will definitely suit Aussie bowling line up

      • freefall101 on 21/05/2023 - 19:15

        7pm to 3am is hardly ideal for the east coast. I wonder what they'll do if the final is ever AU vs NZ, no one would watch it.

        Will be interesting to see how they prepare the pitch, the poms are asking for wickets that suit their Bazball play so it might be a bit of fun for the batsmen out there. But with Bumrah out basically any pitch besides the shockers they prepared in India will be better for Australia, and with most of the Indian side currently getting IPL practice with the Aussies getting more county practice it should be our game to lose. In which case, we'll probably lose it.

      • TightTerry on 21/05/2023 - 19:56

      Foxtel don't care about cricket as much during the AFL/NRL seasons, probably don't pick up enough extra subscribers to justify the price tag buying the coverage
