Rollin' Thunder is an Australian television show currently broadcast on Fox Sports. The program showcases matches from The Australian Bowling Cup, a newly developed ten-pin bowling tournament held at Oz Tenpin Epping in Melbourne, Australia. Featuring two matches per episode, the tournament will showcase 18 of Australia's best bowlers in a baker style triples format which will see both female and male bowlers feature in six teams, culminating in the grand final to determine the overall winners.[1]
The debut season aired from December 2017 on the free-to-air channel 7mate, with teammates George Frilingos and Jarrod Langford winning the inaugural event.[2]
The second season aired over a two-week period from 10 December 2018 on Fox Sports channel 506.[3]
The inaugural tournament in 2017 was recorded on 14 October 2017 at Tenpin City Lidcombe in Sydney, Australia,[4] and premiered on 7mate on Sunday 3 December 2017. Sixteen bowlers competed in the event, who were separated into eight teams of two people. Teams were then split into two even pools, which resulted in each team playing three matches in the qualifying rounds. The 2017 tournament aired across seven episodes, with each episode featuring two matches.
The series reached over 694,000 viewers in metropolitan and regional TV markets over its seven-week run.[5] The show was presented by Peter Psaltis, who commentated alongside Paul Delany and Daniel Webb, with guest commentary appearances from Jason Belmonte.
