Australia killing test cricket with their flat pitches.

:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: CAPACITY == 50, 000 Hows you holy cow doing ?

Actually I think it holds only ~38k

[Serani]

Yeh its defo not 50k, there were hardly any spare seats first 2 days, defo not 15k's worth...

[IKnowU]

Actually I think it holds only ~38k

Thats only seating, theres lot of grass and open areas available which pushes it close to 50k

[Sachin=GOD]

I think the Western Grandstand with a capacity of 14000 was completed in 2010 to increase the capacity from 36000 to 50000.

Yep, you both are correct.

[punjabi_khota]

1).Cook alone has scored more runs in 3 innings than ANY OZ batsman in the whole of 09 ashes. 2). England has now scored 1000 runs for 5 wickets in the last 5 days of cricket played. 3). Pappuson has stormed back to form with his double century, after not scoring a 100 for 18 months :dontknow: gives.

Not difficult to see why when you see the videos I am going to post soon in that ASHES picture thread.

[CSK Fan]

So how many Aussie supporters were there on the last day? I saw only empty stands. I think only Sree_India :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

:(( What a **** pitch. What **** attendances. Oh how oh how can we get a result on this flat pitch ?

[99.94]

Over in less than four days..

[EnterTheVoid]

Over in less than four days..

In less than 3.5 days actually. Also, where were the rows and rows of empty seats ? EVERY SEAT of EVERY DAY has to be filled for the test to be success right ? :((

Pitiful wasn't it? How could you not sell out every seat on a day that was clearly going to give you great value for money? How good is Boxing Day going to be? Let's try crack 100K, I expect you to do your bit Sree.

Yep, an estimated 90, 000+ people will be there, I certainly will be there. But but but ... there will be some spare seats here and there. Shameful and disgusting from the Aussie crowd, I VAAAAAANT EVERY SEAT of EVERY DAY sold out. I vaaaaaaant, vaaaaaaant, vaaaaaaaaant :whine:

[gult]

It was a great match, crowd was very lively when England was batting in the 2nd innings. India vs SA wasn't that interesting until India started batting to be honest.

[EnterTheVoid]

90, 000 + people coming to Boxing Day Test. How oh how can so many people come to watch a series thats nothing than just banter between good mates ? :((

[King Tendulkar]

Well Eden gardens would have the same! So tell your oz breathrens to stop saying that India has poor test attendances then.

Yes, comparing the attendance of a game of cricket, the ONLY Pan-Indian sport, in a city that by itself has a population of around 7-8 million, to the attendance of a game in Australia, that has a combined population of 22 million and where cricket is not even the most popular sport, makes perfect sense! :hatsoff:
