So this coverage is by Fox? I thought the graphics were different for their international games?
Sort of. While the match is on Fox and the commentators are Fox commentators they're using the graphical interface of the Cricket Australia broadcast matches. Why I'm not sure - maybe because they need to cut to the T20 match?

Ashwin averages 7 with the blade in Tests since the start of 2019 and he has one Test fifty in the last four years. It's almost like when Jadeja figured out how to bat in Tests, Ashwin forgot how to at the exact same time.

Haddin reckons he can bat 6 in the Test series though. Great analysis.

They probably just can't be bothered picking up official broadcaster status when CA will do it themselves anyway.

It looks like the production is done by CA's own in-house people (aka "Cricket Network") who do Sheffield Shield games/off-label WBBL games, and it's just picked up by Fox.
Fox has supplied commentators today. I think they basically had to supply infrastructure (cameras etc) for the Cricket Network stuff as part of the broadcast deal too, but yeah the video production crew or whoever it is who actually takes care of the graphical overlays is definitely not from Fox today.

Haddin's only an even chance at best to pronounce a player's name correctly.

If they're from the subcontinent I probably only give him about a 25% shot, even if we're lenient on western accents pronouncing these.

We've had Poonjara, Boomruh and Yavid in the last half hour.

I hear TJB is really into Poonjara. His favourite player.

So are we all thinking Rahane is going to show up on this tour or go missing again?
