“Don’t risk missing the match” warns Kayo in latest summer cricket campaign via Special
Kayo Sports has launched a new brand campaign ahead of this year’s ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup via Special, featuring international cricket star David Warner, familiar voice Brett Lee and one unfortunate Kayo-less cricket fan who gambled on catching the action… and lost.
The campaign debuted during the NRL Grand Final with the spot, “What Happens,” which warns fans that by missing your team’s match, you’re risking the ire of everyone. Including but not limited to: part time delivery bike riders, rock jocks, fiancés, cheesy daytime train-wreck TV chat show hosts, grizzled local police detectives, Brett Lee, and even your own beloved parents. In a spiralling series of events, the unsuspecting fan’s life falls apart one part at a time.
Kayo Sports is the streaming home of the ICC Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup, with all 45 matches live and ad-break free during play. Meaning with Kayo, fans won’t miss a minute of the action, whatever nation they support.
Says Kim McConnie, marketing director, Kayo Sports: “With the footy season wrapping up and winter coming to an end, Aussies are more than ready for a summer of blockbuster cricket action. For cricket fans all over Australia, Kayo has you covered with five different touring nations, two World Cups and more than 1600 hours of live action, we haven’t seen a summer like this – all live, with our game-changing innovations and Fox Cricket’s expert commentary team.”

Can’t bowl, can’t throw, but can solve cases.
That’s actually pretty good.
The guy’s expression in the rain and in the talk show gave me chuckle. A nice step forward from the house of kayo
I mean, take your pick

Pretty funny. Warner is shoehorned in, but it’s actually the best part.
Das Gr8
That’s a great spot!
Lovely stuff here.
Great stuff Jade, Vince, Rowan and Bes!!
That is a lot of story to cram into a 30, and usually that’s a recipe for a mess, but this is actually easy to follow and well-told.
Just the right amount of South Africans on this job. Funny stuff Rowan, Bez, Jade & Vince!
Rip off of the Direct TV stuff from years back, but putting that aside it’s not bad. About an innings and 50 runs better than that weird haunted house thing
Love this! Nice one Lachlan!
With a veritable cricket team of creatives listed in the credits, it’s no wonder this spot is so crampacked.
this is terrible. one of the worst things I have seen this year. They have spent money on this and it looks terrible. all the positive comments from one of the 60 special group credited.
Too good
