For the time being, Test crowds are good in Australia

[spell_check]

We are still one of the leading nations when it comes to Test cricket crowds. Though I do not have the figures to look at, one would suggest England is the only other nation who can get a ground to at least half to three quarters full.

I wonder how accurate the figures are, didnt appear to be that big of crowd. Looked to be around 15-16,000 which is still great but appeared plenty of empty seats and plenty of room on the grass

Don't forget that the members does hide a few out the back.


My old man said the members stand was packed when play started.
