After his retirement as a cricketer, Slater soon joined the commentary box. He is known for his knowledge of the game and wit when holding the mic.
Slater had his share of success with the Kangaroos. In 1993, he made his Test debut against England. In the same year, he hit 305 runs at an average of over 76 in a home series against New Zealand. Slater scored 623 runs at an average of 62.30 in the 1994-95 series against England. However, he was forced to leave the team in 2001 due to lack of form.
Not only that, but his health suffered as a result of his divorce from his first wife, Stephanie. His cricket career was also derailed as a result of this. His life, however, began to return to normal with the beginning of commentary. He then married yoga teacher Joe. Slater, Joe, and their three children currently live in Sydney.
