More proof that CA are run by morons, fixturing the Straya Day game at the SCG where it's raining with a shithouse crowd rather than Adelaide Oval where it's sunny and they would have got close to a sell out.
It's so most of the players can drive home after the game.

They could probably drive home now, doesn't look like there will be much of a game.

F***ing ridiculous decision to shift it from Adelaide Oval where they would've had a full game and a full house.

I'm not that far away, it's hardly rained where I am and hasn't for about 20 mins. I'd be surprised if they didn't play a fair chunk of it.

So there's been 4 changes to the Aussie team, and I note that Maxwells still playing.
There can only be 2 explanations.
1. They're in the final and think what the hell, may as well play him.
2. He's actually in their best XI

If it's 1, then they're wasting a selection and should be playing so done who's actually capable of representing Aust
If it's 2, they've got absolutely no ******* idea and Maxwell has photos of Rod Marsh in a Bombers2003 compromising position.

Australia Day cricket has been played at AO since I can remember. Why change it?

And why is it that every time we host a World Cup we have to play the Kiwis in Un Zud? Um suck of ut!
My guess is that (despite us deserving this ratio), we have to play there due to us hosting 5 of the 7 finals games.

Just found out a little funny piece of information

Things just never seem to change
You were previously unaware. o_O

Ideally Adelaide should have got one of Aus day or a Wc match featuring Australia.

Given that Aus play group stage matches at MCG and SCG (CA would not have allowed Aus to not play at the two most prominent Aus venues).

Also play an away game in Auckland as well as Hobart, Perth and The GABBA. Given Perth and Hobart didn't get a test match I think they should get an Aus WC match. So your only real game to argue against imo is the game vs Bangladesh at the GABBA.
The Gabba has shocking attendances also.

Hobart and Perth have been royally screwed over this summer.

Just looking at it a bit more. Aus are in group A and the 3rd QF is at the AO. So if Aus finish 2nd in Group A. The QF will be at the AO.

Finishing 2nd is quite a possibility but wouldn't expect us to finish any lower than that.

It's not like they knew it would be raining in Sydney.

But still, Australia day is now ruined because of no cricket. It was shaping up to be a good game too. How freakin good was Warner's catch! And Faulkner's bowling looked beautiful.
