“Sydney Thunder’s new membership hotline number is 0411030200,” jokes Daniel Charney while giving the team’s individual score.
Pantha Burman writes that the whole team was out by scoring 15 runs at this level. It’s embarrassing. I don’t understand whether the Sydney Thunder team will be able to come out of this shock or not.
