Glenn McGrath and Mike Hussey, two of Australia’s sporting greats, are the latest to join Macquarie Radio’s Summer of Cricket as part of their new six-year agreement with Cricket Australia.
Macquarie Media will feature coverage of every ball bowled of all the Domain Test Series, Gillette One Day and T20 Internationals, the KFC Big Bash League and the Commonwealth Bank Women’s International Series in what is set to be the most extensive coverage on commercial radio.
Mike Hussey says “We have a great team with some of the best callers around plus a fantastic blend of experts that are able to dissect the game and give incredible insight.”
Glenn McGrath, who’s delighted to be back into the thick of it again this summer says,“ With India, South Africa, Sri Lanka and New Zealand coming out to Australia, we’re for a big challenge against some of the best players in the world in both men’s and women’s formats.”
Macquarie Media CEO, Adam Lang, says the network is thrilled to secure both Hussey and McGrath. “The achievements of Glenn McGrath and Mike Hussey in the game of cricket really do speak for themselves. They are both highly respected throughout the world of cricket internationally and terrific on air. To have them as part of the Macquarie Sports Radio Summer of Cricket broadcast is very exciting for the audience, clients and ourselves.”
