Hugh Jackman tried his hand at cricket commentary on Tuesday.

The Hollywood actor proved his talents aren't confined to movie sets by joining the commentary team in Australia, as he provided a ball-by-ball account of his beloved team's latest game against England.

A solid commentary effort by @RealHughJackman, but he certainly had some strong feedback from the @triplemcricket team! 😂😂 #Ashes pic.twitter.com/0VKyKolawQ

Hugh, 49, is a passionate follower of the sport and his brief commentary stint was widely lauded by fans on social media, with some users even suggesting he's better than the more established commentators.

Previously, Hugh revealed he frequently attends the annual game in Melbourne, which starts on Boxing Day.

And lately, he's been turning the occasion into a family affair, as he travels to the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground with members of his family.

The Sydney-born star shared: "Lately, the tradition has been the Test at the MCG [on Boxing Day]. I bring my dad and my brother.

"We all do the breakfast and we stay on and to me, it's one of the great days of sport. There's nothing like it anywhere in the world."
