I remember years ago in the late 90's and early 2000's where the day session during the week would still get a half decent crowd.

This is embarrassing, surely the players must feel a tad responsible when they see it but there so self-centered i doubt it.

have to agree this would have to be the lowest crowd they have played in front of

From an article off the ABC sport website-
The lowest attendance for an ODI at the MCG involving Australia was in 1979 when 12,077 turned up to watch the hosts against England.

Only three ODIs have previously been held at the MCG in November, with an average attendance for those matches just 17,993.

Has a crowd number been named for tonight yet?

Hit a gum nut that one according to ball tracking

Ball tracking telling lies lol.

Head 152 defeated England 142.
The 221 deficit is England's biggest ODI defeat.

Crowd Numbers
Sydney Cricket Ground 16,993
Adelaide Oval 15,420
Melbourne Cricket Ground 10,406

And the eastern states f/wits were saying Adelaide shouldn't host games from the crowd numbers last weeks game

This series will as forgettable and meaningful as a Socceroos World Cup finals appearance

Disappointing seeing Hunt's dismissal, I'm sure he would like that ball again, was really hoping that he'd put his name up in shining lights.

On the same token, would've been better for him to open, why play 3 openers, one of them who has had several opportunities at the top level and hasn't cut it.

Yeah weird selection call playing 3 openers, obviously the Aussies selectors see Harris and Renshaw ahead of Hunt in the current pecking order for opening batsmen but still want Hunt in there. Like you I was hoping he'd do well and push his claims for higher honours but it wasn't to be on this occasion.

PM XI's finished at 9/297 at stumps.
Renshaw 81
Handscomb 55

Absolutely, if Warner and Usi were both struck down with illness Renshaw and Harris would be the immediate replacements, I just think that this sort of game should be about exposing our up and comers to the big stage.

How long has this match become more than a one dayer? Used to be a bit of a festival like event, I wonder if Albo selected the side? That's what used to happen, no doubt another tradition out the window.

Looks like this is the first year that the match is more than a one day match, this is the first PM XI'd match since 2019 and according to the article on Cricket.com.au that announced the team Albanese picked the team.

That article demonstrates the insignificance of the Redbacks, Hunt is referred to as the NSW Country Opener.
