The KFC T20 Big Bash League kicks off tonight on Network Ten, and the teams and commentators are gearing up for all of the explosive T20 action.
Join Mel McLaughlin and Andy Maher with cricket legends Adam Gilchrist and Ricky Ponting from Adelaide Oval to launch the 2014-15 KFC T20 Big Bash League season.
Round One sees the Melbourne Stars take on the Adelaide Strikers on home soil in an electrifying season opener that will set the tone for an epic summer of cricket on Network Ten.
Tune in to see Kevin Pieterson make his debut with the Stars in a bid to make up for the heartache of last season.
The match will be broadcast live across Australia except in Queensland. Many fans are upset that Ten’s weekday Big Bash coverage will be delayed by one hour in Qld for The Project.
