For the season 2008/2009 the Adelaide Cricket Club has decided to honour one of its most famous son's Jason Gillespie with a testimonial year.

So on Sunday the 8th of February get on down to the Buffalo's home ground of Glandore Oval where a team of current and not so current Buffalos take on some former International Stars commencing at 1pm. Entry is a gold coin donation with the proceeds going to Dizzy's former opening buddy Glenn McGrath's foundation for Breast Cancer.

this will be a great day and many great players there! Would be a wonderful day to attend and support a good cause...rather devo il be in NT but scores to be posted on here would be great. thanks

CD2 is named to play.

Should be a good day and i expect it will draw a pretty reasonable crowd. I will see ya there.

it should be a good day, i will be down there to watch the game and hopefully take some pics.

Some more details have become available,

There will be a Sausage Sizzle throughout the day together with other Food & Refreshments available vans in attendance.

Testimonial items will be on sale at the Merchandise tent throughout the day which will be the last opportunity to purchase the testimonial caps.

At the completion of the game there will be the auctioning of the players specially designed playing shirts and other memorabilia items.

The club will remain open on the Sunday evening and will be serving meals.


Also at the club on Saturday night the organisers are discussing the idea of setting up a temporary Grandstand and with an expected attendance of over 4000 this could be huge
