For the time being, Test crowds are good in Australia

Postby spell_check » Tue Jan 24, 2012 6:46 pm

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.

This is the total attendances for each venue this season, compared to the past four corresponding matches:

Aust vs NZ at Gabba
2001/02 - 36752 over five days
2004/05 - 52082 over four days
2008/09 - 38753 over four days
2011/12 - 40670 over four days

Aust vs NZ at Bellerive
1993/94 - 13220 over four days
1997/98 - 12396 over five days
2001/02 - 16471 over five days
2011/12 - 16525 over three days (I can't find the fourth day attendance)
-records for 11/12:
6238 - highest opening day crowd vs NZ at Bellerive
5757 - highest 2nd day crowd vs NZ at Bellerive
4530 - highest 3rd day crowd vs NZ at Bellerive
16525 - highest attendance vs NZ at Bellerive

Aust vs Ind at MCG
1999/00 - 134554 over five days
2003/04 - 179662 over five days
2007/08 - 166663 over four days
2011/12 - 189347 over four days
-records for 11/12:
70068 - highest opening day crowd vs Ind at MCG
52858 - highest 2nd day crowd vs Ind at MCG
189347 - highest attendance vs Ind at MCG

Aust vs Ind at SCG
1999/00 - 106636 over three days
2003/04 - 189989 over five days
2007/08 - 119289 over five days
2011/12 - 115112 over four days

Aust vs Ind at WACA
1991/92 - 31179 over five days
2007/08 - 62377 over four days
2011/12 - 49502 over three days
records for 11/12:
17956 - highest opening day crowd vs Ind at WACA
17194 - highest 2nd day crowd vs Ind at WACA
16501 - highest average days crowd vs Ind at WACA

Aust vs Ind at Adelaide
1991/92 - 57684 over five days
1999/00 - 65610 over five days
2003/04 - 75021 over five days
2007/08 - 97723 over five days

record for 11/12:
21480 - highest opening day crowd vs Ind at Adelaide

Records for other days vs Ind at Adelaide are:
20517 - 2nd day in 2007/08
26720 - 3rd day in 2007/08
19407 - 4th day in 2007/08

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
