So Melbourne people aren't really sport lovers; they're event goers.

[Simmo79]

yeah, that was some pretty damning testimony

Consistent crowd figures would prove your theory otherwise. Actually, would still be the case even if you only included the number of people who sat in a seat from the start 'til the finish. Good fishing though

To be fair it's a bit of a world XI given there is a South african, Kiwi & Zimbabwean amongst them.

17,771 turned up to the Ricky Ponting tribute match at Aurora Stadium last night.

Cricket will have to be added to the list of sports played at the stadium now that they have a drop in pitch.

The biggest Tasmanian cricket crowd ever, according to the @Austadiums twitter account! Beat the previous best (at Bellerive) by about 1k.

Are the media in Australia making a big deal about how the women's Ashes were lost, because they sure are mentioning it a lot on the TV here!

[Rob]

There's a women's ashes?

[the crow]

I'm sure they have noted that the men got TOWLED in all forms of the game...5-0, 4-1 & 2-0.... So far.
