Chance for Clifton Hill cricket fans to enjoy some festive sport
Sports fans from Clifton Hill still have time to get a seat at one of Melbourne’s most iconic sporting events.
The Boxing Day Test Match is one of the most popular fixtures on the Australian cricket calendar, and this year features the West Indies, who are currently touring the country.
While the Windies are going through something of a slump in form after losing some of their major players to retirement, the match is still a chance to see some of the country’s rising stars, as well as some of the best Australian cricketers in action live.
It is also a good opportunity to introduce young fans to the game during the school summer holidays, with tickets to the family zone still on offer. Young fans could use banner printing or signs to show which Australian player is their favourite, or their support for the team in general.
Australia will be looking to extend their lead in the three-match Test series after comfortably winning the first match in Hobart earlier this month.
Families who cannot make the first day on Boxing Day could opt to attend on Day 3 instead, which is the designated family day and includes special pricing.
The match will be held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from Saturday, December 26th, to Wednesday, December 30th. Tickets can be purchased through the Cricket Australia website.
