Wow.

It's holiday season.

Melbourne Stars had a sell-out of the MCG for a Big Bash game last year.

It's actually worrying for Test Cricket that it's not 90k.

Wow.

We all know that boxing day crowd is more an exception than the rule. It's more to do with tradition. Will be interesting to see if the same number of people show up on days 2, 3, 4.

Shame on CA for producing such a pathetic pitch. And then they wonder why test cricket is dying.
