When you clock up 5 consecutive dot balls, but you finish 32 not out from just 24 balls + hit the winning runs ??? pic.twitter.com/cpZ93TM6jG

I just wish Channel 10 would stop getting the presenters to push their own shows. When the commentators get dragged into promoting I’m a Celebrity it makes them look like chumps, undermines their credibility and feels completely unnatural.
Oh and the terrible KFC ads! Trying so hard to be “one of the boys” it’s feels so forced, clichéd.
The cricket is great!
