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.

Terrific attendance today given:

1. Tuesday start
2. 37 degrees
3. Dead rubber

Good stuff Adelaide!

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.

And then the people who just rock up to perve/booze were out in force out the back.

Thats me tray of beers. watch the first session with the lads, then down the back to talk shite, have a scout and enjoy the festivities..... occasionally looking at the big screen and celebrating milestones (20 beers deep and like you watched the whole innings )

how many do you reckon there will be there tomorrow? Enough for a 20 miniute wait to get a beer?

Na, they were people, fish can't hold tickets, they have no hands.

19670 today, just short of the Day 2 Aus v India record

Half of them must always be at the members bar then ...

35k today, insane crowd.

At least 8k boozer/pervers out the back.
