This loving ANZ ad sucks so much, why is this tournament so long? You see it multiple times a game and the only redeeming feature is they made the fat kid say "big or bold".

I hope Sanga makes 250 and then at the end jogs over to Mark Taylor and calls him a fat oval office.

I really don't understand the point in a bank sponsoring cricket in the first place, who the gently caress makes banking choices based on which one sponsors the cricket? Also what even is the purpose of that ad?

Based on how wanky those two come off in that ad I assume immediately afterwards they bought a jeep and complained about health insurance.

I mean it makes sense for things like KFC to put it into peoples heads when they're watching sport , but a bank? I don't see how it could have any impact on people even subconciously in their banking decisions.

He's been playing for Australia long enough to suggest he's not that prone to injury.
