SCG stands as ground for all occasions
Much more than the match which saw Australia achieve its 11th consecutive victory over Pakistan in a decade, the occasion reaffirmed the greatness of Test cricket and the significance of seeing the traditional game played in its rightful setting. The SCG has a very rich history which its trustees and members must unselfconsciously trumpet as Cricket NSW continues to show intense interest in taking the game west to Homebush nearer the demographic centre of Sydney.
