Watching Australia vs. India right now? Soniq is, in real-time, cutting $5 off the price of its 42-inch Ultra HD Smart TV for every run scored by opener Aaron Finch. If Finch bats his average 38 runs, the TV will drop in price by $190. If he matches his century scored against England then Soniq will give some TVs away for free (if there’s any left).
But be quick: If Aaron Finch gets bowled out, the price of the TV will go back to the RRP of $699. A live price will be displayed next to the ‘42 Finch’ TV online and linked to Aaron Finch’s run tally.

UPDATES
4:00pm AEDT:
As reader @kie723 points out below, looks like Soniq got into a wee bit of trouble:
Hi there Cricket and SONIQ fans. Unfortunately some pretty influential people got in touch to say that we can’t associate this offer with a specific player.
Fear not! We won’t red tape spoil the fun for our cutomers, but we have had to make a couple of changes to the mechanic. Rather than the live price being linked to a specific player, we will link the price to the ‘opening batsman’. We’re no experts, but we would say there’s a 50/50 chance that it ends up being the same unnamed player. Let’s call him ‘Darren Lynch’
4:20pm:
Oops. Look like Soniq’s page is toiling…
4:25pm:
4:40pm:
The page loaded! But the price is a little behind Finch’s current runs!
As @damoesp says in the comments below: Currently at $424 although it should actually be $389 as Finch is on 62 run
4:52pm:
Wicket! Noooo! Oh wait, it’s Smith. Phew. That was an awesome innings! 105 off 93.
4:52pm:
Page loaded again! OUT OF STOCK. Nooooo!
5:05pm
Finch on 79 off 110. Australia on 216-2 at the start of over 37.
5:15pm
Finch is OUT! 81 off 116 as Australia’s top order hits a stumbles to 4 for 234 after 38.3 overs.
5:16pm
I’m out. Cricket is more fun when there’s a cheap TV was up for grabs. Night.
