No more big stadiums for domestic cricket

Two games over the weekend, one at a near empty MCG, and the other at a near full North Sydney Oval. It’s time for the big three – New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland – to move rom the big stadiums and play at suburban grounds.

New South Wales has been doing it for a long time, with matches at North Sydney.

I would hope now with the Blacktown Oval development and an Oval at Bankstown, which NSW has played matches on, NSW become permanently based in the suburbs.

The WACA, Adelaide Oval and Bellerive Oval seem to get okay crowds and through the TV you can feel an atmosphere. Twenty20 cricket shouldn’t be the only time state cricketers get to play in front of a big crowd.
