I swear some people are shocked to find that cricket also happens in other countries.

From the womens side, Im looking forward to the rematch of the 2023 Womens T20 World Cup Final . And also nice to see the WACA get a fixture on the international stage.
December 14th on a Thursday will test Perths crowd and WAs interest in Test Cricket. You would imagine a crowd of around 20,000+ needed on 1st day for them to push and hold onto bigger fixtures in future. Anything less and I would imagine that would be a fail.

Id be surprised if the GABBA and Adelaide could get more than 15,000+ through the gates on any of those days for the Test matches involving West Indies .
I hate to say it but tests matches outside the big 3- just dont pull in the crowds eg Australia, India , England. I would be surprised if Im wrong.

Day 1 vs India on a Friday drew 20,746 and vs NZ on a Thursday drew 19,084. December 14 and December 12, respectively.From the womens side, Im looking forward to the rematch of the 2023 Womens T20 World Cup Final . And also nice to see the WACA get a fixture on the international stage.

India had three days of 19,000+ and NZ had three days of 17,000+.
Give us a decent schedule and we turn up.

Thanks in that case, given a reasonable schedule and a better level of opposition, there may be the chance of even 25k, if we get to potentially see a few WA players in it on top of Cam Green.
I just think the appetite for Test cricket it not the same outside tests v England and India. But we will see come December this year.

Also shocked when Australia has to participate in anything less than a marquee series.

Left out overnight
Pretty good crowds at the 2nd test last season considering the shite opposition:
Day 1 attendance: 24,449
Day 2 attendance: 27,490
Day 3 attendance: 24,889
Adelaide's crowds have always turned up for test cricket. I guess that's why we get screwed continuously with the D/N test and the scheduling of the Windies (again) next summer....and the ludicrous situation that the test starts on a Wednesday.

Australia’s first NZ Test tour in eight years confirmed
Dates are locked in for Australia’s first Test series across the Tasman since 2016, in a tour that will also feature the team’s final T20I series before the 2024 World Cup
we're going across the ditch!

It’s looking more and more likely that having the West Indies out here this summer will be a disaster for ticket sales . Their white ball team has fallen off a cliff with them failing to make the main stages of the ODI and T20 World Cups in the men’s. And red ball they have just got smashed by India , with a lot of their top players playing franchise cricket . (It’s been like this for a while)
I’m also not convinced the women’s West Indies will be any good shakes either .

AUSTRALIA IN INDIA
Three ODIs v India - September 22, 24 and 27
ODI World Cup - October 5 to November 19
Five T20s v India - November 23, 26, 28 and December 1 and 3
-------------------
would rather us get some Shield games into the players before the Test series vs Pakistan, but BCCI dollars is more important I guess
Not many of the Test prospects would be in the T20 squad hopefully, so most could get a Shield match in even if in the WC squad. But watch CA rest them instead.

That top three is still very flaky. How Shan Masood is still there at 3 boggles the mind.
They'll go from two months in the UK for the WTC final and Ashes, have three weeks off before 5 ODIs and 3 T20Is in South Africa in August and September, have less than a week before the first match in India, where they'll be for two months.
They then come straight home for five tests, 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is in two months at home, and eight days later, they're in New Zealand for 3 T20Is and two tests.
Don't mind a few of them having a couple of weeks off, tbh.
