Absolutely no need for a ground to get two test unless there is 6 test matches and one stadium cant hold one for whatever reason.

Just means Hobart will miss out.....Adelaide will still get a Test Match.

Still no good for cricket advertisement and development in Tassie then.. and I would be filthy if the SCG got the D/N test over Adelaide - Sydney and Melbourne already get the cream of the fixtures including the ODI and T20 stuff

No reason for Hobart not to get one if there is enough tests for each state to have one each.

Canberra is trying to pinch Hobart's test. They have spent heaps on Manuka and are aiming to bid for one next year

Not if it is a loss making exercise.....Destination NSW which is the tourism commission for NSW will put forward all sorts of cases stating why they should get another one.

Hobart got a Test Match this year and didn't exactly set the world on fire with attendances. Brisbane need to get their shit in order otherwise they might find themselves on the outer.

Based on numbers, only Adelaide or possibly Melbourne deserves two tests.

Hobart didn't exactly make a great case to keep the test, but they do always get the worst sides going down there.

If it comes down to money then Sydney doesn't actually make the greatest argument either. Not so well attended as most would think and TV audiences love a game with atmosphere. Melbourne always dose well with the Boxing Day thing but at the moment, Adelaide Oval is the best atmosphere. For perhaps the first time ever, we're making a strong case to get more given than taken.

Was listening to some radio station in the car on the way to work who suggested that Sydney test despite not being the greatest attended is still the most profitable test of the season due to the amount of sponsorship dollars that are put through.

ALL Tests should be played in Adelaide, at least you know you wont get washed out like Melb Syd Brisbane and Hobart

More rain.....

Looks very ugly on the radar too. From what I see there good luck getting a ball bowled today.

May as well abandoned the rest of the game

Yep, get them on the next flight out of here. They won't want to be doing anything on day 5, makes another 50-60 and declare, Australia declare 0/0, WI declare 0/0, Australia chase 300 odd in 50-60 overs. Won't happen.

free admission tomorrow

play a one dayer.

First time since the Sydney Test against Pakistan in 1990 where at least two days in a Test were washed out in Australia - in that one, there were three days with no play (1, 2 and 4), and they added a sixth day after the second day.

Thats exactly what should be happening but the odds of $1.01 with the bookies about the draw, suggests otherwise.

Shane Warne talking shit.

Steven O'Milnes pies gets one
