looks like rain tomorrow over here in the West could be a reduced game

 

[Moonwatcher]

Pity it wasn't a Saturday game.

Let's go

Bharat saying its close to a sell out for tomorrow.



Huge difference to the launch of the summer last season, when think there was around a 30k crowd or so at the MCG, and not many people even knowing the game was on.

 

[Plugger35]

It's not often you get a sell out or even a crowd that is close to a sell out for an ODI these days.

There are showers forecast for Perth tomorrow but hopefully they don't impact the game too much.

Have to sit high in the stands if you want a ticket in Adelaide too. Suspect there will be a majority Indian crowd.

Hopefully members turn up.

Yeah no doubt the big crowds are due to all the Indian supporters buying tickets, it could be their last chance to see Kohli here.

I still think that's the case as far as media coverage goes. game being stuck behind the paywall doesn't help either.

If I stand to be corrected , this India v Australia ODI series is also behind a paywall ?

Im gathering more marketing is the difference between this seasons matches compared to the Pakistan matches last year. If I stand to be corrected the crowds were not as good last year for some unknown reason.

With Perth not really having any meaningful sport event since the Dockers lost to Gold Coast in the Finals, I guess its been a while for a quality sport event over there. Also having Mitch Marsh and a few of the WA boys in that setup helps bring in crowds eg Cooper Connolly. Do also understand that India have a strong pulling power for crowds. Pretty sure Id guess we see at least 55k+ on a Sunday for a One Dayer over there?

The T20I Australia v India at the MCG will probably be the biggest T20 game in Australia since the 2022 World Cup Final.

 

[Westend]

In all honesty this white ball series is just a side show for me with the ashes coming up...yeah I know its Aus V india and I hope we go well...but really my focus is on the shield and leading up to the ashes

 

[Westend]

but good lads and the ones making there debuts today

 

[Blackhawk42]

I didn't know this was on until yesterday.

Hideous promotion for the 50 over format once again.

How much play do we think we'll see?

It's starting before lunch Perth time, and the forecast gets worse from about 2:00 onwards doesn't it?

 

[Bedi]

That's a quality Indian side. Ours not too shabby either. Should be a good game

All ODIs and T20Is are behind a paywall

 

[10Dulkar]

I'm sure that when I was a kid, players used to be interviewed without the nauseating syncophancy from Mark Howard on full display

 

[E Shed]

Loved the interview with Kohli by Gilli.
I don’t get why he gets so much hate. Seems like a decent guy & certainly a candidate for GOAT in the 50 overs caper.
Hope the weather holds. I’m house sitting on my own with a huge screen and nothing to do. 2 great teams. Perfect.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

We are so back

 

[ExchangeStatMan]

Its the hottest ticket in town.

Now I heard the T20I on the Gold Coast is sold out o.




The cheapest tickets via Viagogo are around $350+ minimum.

Anyone have experience buying off them before in Australia?

They're seen as legalised scalping and scammers

I'm sure they work ok for some but they aren't a business I'd use

I have used them before when in the US purchasing tickets for an NFL game. If your desperate to go, there would be a price given supply v demand.

 

[ExchangeStatMan]

Viagogo remaining seat prices, since Cricket Australia website has Allocation Exhausted :



Im gathering the crowd will be 80:20 in favour of India at the SCG?

 

[Headless]

Now we're sitting on toadstools with the same group of fairies!

 

[10Dulkar]

Nice of Fox to let us see a bit of the action above the score graphic.

What's Optus like as a viewing ground for cricket? Hoping to visit in December.
