Nickelodeon ready to Crash the Bash again

Nickelodeon will “Nick-ify” Big Bash League games for the third time, with 8 matches across the country getting Live activation, in a renewed deal with Cricket Australia.

Crash the Bash also returns for a third season, hosted by former cricketer and Australian Survivor finalist, Lee Carseldine. Nickelodeon will debut newly released Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles costumes and give away prizes for fans throughout the BBL season.

Cricket Australia Head of Big Bash Leagues, Kim McConnie said: “This summer, more fans will be able to enjoy the fast-paced on-field action than ever before, as the competition moves to a full home and away fixture.

“We believe this will be one of the most exciting BBL seasons to-date and we look forward to working with Nickelodeon once again to deliver more fun and enjoyment to our fans across the country”

General Manager and Vice President of Nickelodeon Australia and New Zealand Ben Cox said “We are thrilled to once again be partnering with the BBL to provide blockbuster kids entertainment both on and off the field.

“Nickelodeon’s mission is to make the world a more playful place and we are excited to be giving kids around the country the opportunity to experience our brand in new and irreverent ways.”

At the eight ‘Nick-ified’ matches this season, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be giving away family trips to Nickelodeon Land at Sea World on the Gold Coast, including accommodation at Sea World Resort. Fans will also compete in fun-filled challenges on the field-of-play during innings breaks, while Nickelodeon’s ‘Nick Squad’ will be making a comeback to entertain families off the field with inflatables and water play activations to keep kids cool throughout the day.

There will also be an opportunity for one lucky family to win an exclusive trip to New York City at the BBL|08 Final. The incredible prize includes return flights to New York City, five nights’ accommodation and a variety of family experiences to enjoy.
