AUSTRALIA PLAY FOR NUMBER 1

TEST RANKING

AUSTRALIA V NEW ZEALAND

LIVE AND EXCLUSIVE ON FOX SPORTS

TWO TEST TOUR AND CHAPPELL-HADLEE ODI SERIES

LIVE AND ONLY ON FOX SPORTS BEGINS FEBRUARY 3

Australia and New Zealand clash this month in an all-important series which could

see Steve Smith’s men regain the number one Test ranking.

There will be plenty to play for in Australia’s tour of New Zealand which includes

three One Day Internationals and two Test matches beginning Wednesday

(February 3) with the first ODI in Auckland.

Across the three limited overs, Australia will be hungry to win back the Chappell-

Hadlee Trophy that they lost in last year’s Cricket World Cup pool match while the

coveted number one ranking will be the focus in Smith’s first overseas series as

captain.

FOX SPORTS will be the only place on Australian television to watch all the action

unfold LIVE and in HIGH DEFINITION.

FOX SPORTS cricket pundits, legendary Australian test captain Allan Border and

former Australian bowler Brendon Julian will join a team of experts to deliver

analysis and opinion throughout the tour.

Australia will play their remaining two ODIs in Wellington on February 6 and

Hamilton two days later (February 8) before returning to New Zealand’s capital city

for the opening Test on February 12.

The tour culminates on February 20 in Christchurch with the second and final Test

match, which will be Australia’s last outing before they embark on their T20 Tour of

South Africa ahead of the ICC World T20 Cup.

In addition, FOX SPORTS News 500 will keep fans across all the action in New

Zealand with daily updates and round-the-clock coverage. Australia’s number one

multi-sports website, foxsports.com.au, will deliver the best analysis, opinion and

video highlights while Match Centre will provide live scores, ball-by-ball

commentary and statistics for every game.

FOX SPORTS is exclusively available on Foxtel.
