Ten’s The Big Bash dominates as security guard wins catch of the night
The Big Bash clash between the Adelaide Strikers and the Brisbane Heat took an interesting turn last night, when the security guard on the pitch managed to catch the ball on the full.
Ten’s broadcast of the second session of the game was the only program to achieve 1m viewers in the OzTAM overnight preliminary ratings, grabbing 1.049m viewers as the Heat scraped a win over the Strikers.
The Adelaide Strikers struggled to hit the 200 run mark in the first session, but still captured an audience of 863,000 viewers.
Not surprised 20 to 1 tanked – it’s more like 200,000 to 1 when you take into account all the (stupefyingly boring) talking heads. The events themselves are somewhat interesting; who cares (apart from themselves) what “celebrities” think of those events.
