Australia will finally turn its attention to Test match cricket, with the West Indies set to clash against Pat Cummins' side in a two-Test series. This is Zero Wicket's guide to watching the first Test on TV, or streaming it online, as well as all the key information you need to know for the match.
The first Test of the summer against the West Indies will kick off on Wednesday, November 30 at Perth Stadium in Perth, Western Australia's capital. The first ball is scheduled to be bowled at 1:20pm (AEDT) - that's 10:20am (local time).
Should the match last five days, it will conclude on Sunday, December 4.
The timezone difference between the east and west coast of Australia means the game will drift into the evening for viewers in other states, with play to wrap up at about 8:20pm (AEDT) each day - the full hours of play can be found further down in this piece.
Australia come into the series on the back of a horror performance at the T20 World Cup, although they did manage to get the better of England in a three-match ODI series last week.
The West Indies also struggled through the T20 World Cup, and then could only manage a draw against the PM's XI in their recent four-day warm-up game, scoring 235 and 8 for 277 in their two efforts with the bat.
