New Zealand Media and Entertainment's Radio Sport has secured the radio rights to the live broadcast of the biggest match of the biggest summer of cricket in decades.
When the Black Caps walk out onto the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Boxing Day this
year, it'll be the first time they've played test cricket at the MCG in 32 years.
"The Boxing Day Test is Australia's flagship test match. Given the interest in cricket fuelled by this year's dramatic Cricket World Cup and the fact New Zealand has had to wait so long for a test match at the MCG - this is going to be huge," said Radio Sport Content Director Gareth Lischner.
