He is being fast tracked by CA into a leadership role

You get one test a year. Surely there are enough cricket tragics up there. Absolutely woeful crowd which ever way you spin it This game deserves more and I really hoped they would pour through the gates for the last session

Been a cracking test so far so would be nice for some Queenslanders to rock up and watch it

Says plenty about the fickle QLD fans. Day 1 of a test in prime time slot and they are celebrating 23k like it’s some massive achievement? Anyway, great to see a bit of ticker among the Windies lads and hopefully they can continue to develop

He flew up yesterday and should be good to go

I’d take any former Australian opener who is still breathing over Bancroft

I’m in a corporate facility for the day, can’t chug them down fast enough 🤣

In a match dominated by the ball, one bloke made over double what the next best bloke did so for that I’m giving it to Trav 😝

We turned down the Australia Day D/N game this year and asked for a mix of day and D/N fixtures going forward. We definitely don’t want to stop having D/N’s

Was a few tears shed in the SACA facilities this morning. Still hurts that he is gone

Approximately 5k of interstate ticket sales were sold for tomorrow 🥲

50k to the opening 2 days on a Wednesday and Thursday

A tick over 50k through the gates so far which is quite good for a Wednesday and and Thursday. Tomorrow should see a fair dip now unfortunately and CA really missed a trick and just really disappointing not to get at least one day over the weekend.

Gabba test starts Thursday so needs to be minimum 3 day break

Always been a big one for bar sales as you get plenty taking a long weekend and you get plenty of local cricket clubs hiring buses and so it has a bit more of a party atmosphere

Friday is traditionally the big money spinner for the SACA, so the budget is going to cop a decent hit which flows down unfortunately. Thanks CA you imbeciles

Enough in the pitch that makes it not as easy to bat on as people think either

A lot of cloud coverage this morning and might be an overcast day. If the Windies bowlers bend their back it could be a very interesting first hour or so

What do they say about doing the same thing over and over again? Perth hates test cricket and no amount of leg ups will fix it. Just give it someone who will appreciate it

It’s woeful scheduling to start on a Wednesday when you know the opposition most likely won’t make it to the weekend. Hopefully CA sees the error in their ways by stiffing us to give Perth a leg up. There is a clear pecking order as to what cities should host the better games

26,361 the final tally Woeful scheduling against poor opponents and with all the negativity around this series to still see the crowd turn up in good numbers is a good effort. Just a pity we won’t get to see much play over the weekend

19k through the gates by 11am this morning despite a worse opponent and worse time slot than what Perth had. Perth’s highest day of attendance was 17k Will probably end up with 22-24k through the gates today

Cool. We have established that Perth crowds will only turn up for India and England so when other teams come here there is no need to schedule them a test. Sounds great

Rubbish. Would guarantee that if Adelaide had the exact same time slot as Perth did it would have been a 80k crowd

We had to pay otherwise CA would gift the slot to WA each year and they still wouldn’t get a decent crowd. WA folk have to stop blaming everyone else for their fickle fans woeful turnout

Adelaide has a day test against the Windies this year Adelaide is starting on a Wednesday this year. And yet with those two factors in play I’d be shocked if Adelaide didn’t get a higher attendance than Perth. Would almost be certain that if that test Perth just had was played in Adelaide as a...

Perth was favoured this year, CA changed the whole schedule to suit them and they still couldn’t be bothered turning up

Of course Perth won’t lose their test but it’s ridiculous that CA favours them. In the future they should just get what they are given and reward Adelaide for doing the right thing.

The 5-10k out in the Pimms tent that don’t see a ball bowled all day. I have mates come over from Sydney and Melbourne for it every year and never see a ball live. They come over just to all catch up and it’s a party atmosphere

Of course fixturing plays a part but Perth copped a beauty and we copped a s**t sandwich and will still probably get more through the gate than Perth. You give us that first test against Pakistan and we get 80k to the 4 days
