Max Bryden

Max is a self-confessed sporting nuff with an unhealthy devotion to the Wests Tigers and the Sydney Sixers. Despite never being able to turn his large frame into much pace at the crease, he has worked around professional sports for nearly a decade. Starting as a Digital Media Manager, he eventually put his addiction to Domestic Cricket to use and found his way behind the microphone as a commentator for Cricket Australia and Cricket NSW. His SuperCoach chops are burgeoning, with 2x top 350 finishes in BBL SC and a top 1k finish in his first season of NRL SC.
