The Hindu
Record-breaking attendance at the Melbourne Cricket Ground for the Australia vs India Test match, surpassing previous numbers from 1937.
Over the last five days, all roads led to the G, as the Melbourne Cricket Ground is fondly referred to. And it was no surprise that audience-records were shattered along the way.
A total attendance of 3,73,691 was recorded during the fourth Test involving Australia and India. It is the highest ever for a Test in Australia and according to a Cricket Australia press-release, the latest numbers ‘surpassed the previous mark of 3,50,534 from 1937, where fans saw Don Bradman’s Australia defeat England in a six-day Test.’
The note also mentioned that the 74,362 turnout on Monday, was the highest final day attendance ever in Australia.
“Thank you, Melbourne. An Australian cricketing record, an MCG record and history made,” Cricket Australia tweeted.
In terms of Boxing Day Tests, the previous record was 271,865 during the 2013-14 Ashes, according to AFP.
