4th Test: India-Australia Game Sets New Record For Test Match Attendance In Australia (Ld)
The Boxing Day Test: The Boxing Day Test between India and Australia has set a new record for attendance figures in Tests in Australia, beating the previous record set in 1936/37 when Australia faced England in a six-day game.
During the lunch break of Day 5 play, 51,371 fans were in attendance at the MCG in anticipation of a grandstand finish to the match. Such was the rush of fans coming into the MCG to witness day five’s play that the stadium staff was scrambling around to make more arrangements around security, as well as food and beverage supplies.
“We’ve officially surpassed the attendance record set in 1936/37 when Australia faced England — a Test which spanned six days,” said the MCG through its ‘X’ account on Monday. "Thank you, Melbourne. An Australian cricketing record, an MCG record and history made," Cricket Australia said on its ‘X’ account.
