Around the Wicket on ESPN – Former Australian Cricket captains Michael Clarke and Aaron Finch lead a stellar list of cricketing greats as part of ‘Around the Wicket’ – a brand new cricket program, coming to ESPN on Wednesday December 13.
 
The program is a multi-platform extension of ESPNCricinfo in the Australian and New Zealand markets and will super serve cricket fans with absorbing insights and analysis from some of the biggest names to have played the game.
 
Hosted by accomplished sports journalist Neroli Meadows, Around the Wicket will break down the big matches and hot topics of the Australian summer of cricket, with a rotating cast of cricketing legends including Michael Clarke, Aaron Finch, Mike Hussey, Callum Ferguson, David Hussey and ESPN CricInfo’s Alex Malcolm joining as ESPN Cricket Insider. 

Clarke brings his experience as a former Australian cricket captain, in a career spanning 115 Test matches and 245 One Day Internationals.

The former captain enjoyed a highlight reel cricketing career, from his 151 on Test debut in India to 6/9 match-winning bowling performance and historic 329* career high innings at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
