Niche domestic cricket references that warm the heart

[ManOfClay]

Gough - gotta broaden it. It’s all about our game in the country.

This is a thread for your Richard Chee Quee references, for your Adelaide Oval pre redevelopment being the greates sports stadium in the world talk, for your why the hell did Victoria play a season in shorts questions.

Carried on from discussion in the test thread.

Mercantile Mutual Cup, and the Hit the Sign

 

[Gough]

At Adelaide Oval you used to be able to get all your mates into the members as long as they bought an outer ticket and you had an associate members ticket. It was just a paper ticket, no bar code, you'd just meet them in the outer with the ticket which they'd use get into the members with, rinse and repeat and the SACA never checked.

I remember going to Footy Park for a day night McDonald's Cup game.

I reckon it was.

And people question the Twenty20 as being commercially weighted!

I remember going to one of the 50 over split innings games. Just felt a bit odd, IMO.

And this game - would love to see the last ball again to see if my memory is the same at this guy's...

I went to the WSC Supertest in 1977 / 78. Bruce Laird got a century, as did the great Viv Richards.

I was 11 at the time and distinctly remember sitting in the outer on concrete...in the sun.....

I saw Ian Chappell bat in Test cricket.

I can remember going to a SCG test when John Snow knocked Terry Jenner down with a vicious bouncer.Snow went to the boundary to field and greeted by cans thrown on the field and a spectator grabbed Snow,s arm.Illingworth the England captain took his side off the field for 20 minutes.Who else was there that day?

All of the 'all rounders' who were really number 8 batsmen and a 6th bowling option. They were everywhere during the 90s/early 00s Mercantile/ING Cup
