Last year’s Test between Australia and India at the Sydney Cricket Ground has been nominated for the Sports Event Of The Year Award alongside the Super Bowl XLVI, 2012 NBA All-Star game, the 2012 London Olympic Games’ ‘Super Saturday’ and the EURO 2012 opening match.
The Award covers the best sporting event held at a stadium, arena or major sports venue in the past 12 months.
The SCG became only the third ground worldwide to have hosted 100 cricket Tests when Australia defeated India by an innings and 68 runs.
The match was highlighted by the record-breaking innings of 329 not out played by Australian captain Michael Clarke, and the twin centuries made by Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey.
“The SCG’s 100th Test milestone took 130 years to achieve, and it is a measure of the significance that the SCG has played in the history of Australian sports and international cricket,” said Trust Chief Executive, Jamie Barkley.
