Big Bash Conversation Investigated

Cricket Australia (CA) are investigating an on-air exchange between Adelaide Strikers captain Brad Hodge and commentator Mark Howard.

Howard informed Hodge that Ben Laughlin had got Sydney Thunder batsman Shane Watson out twice in eight balls. The incident, which is being investigated for integrity reasons, has ‘disappointed’ Cricket Australia.

Howard’s network Network Ten have apologised for the exchange. Hodge was wearing an earpiece and microphone so he could converse with the commentators between overs.
