Cast or casted

The word cast is quite often used to describe a commentated video footage of an instance of a competitive video game, or simply a match between two teams. I've just heard a pretty well established Australian caster say: "These games will be casted tomorrow."

Is that correct or should he say: "...will be cast..."?

Hi,
You should say cast, not casted. It is nonstandard English by me. Maybe it is a matter of the Australian English
dialect. I cannot really know.
