Cricket at the MCG

Cricket is one of Australia's national sports - and the home of cricket in Australia is the MCG - the Melbourne Cricket ground.

The stadium seats over 100,000 fans.


Cricket is a complicated game, but basically there are two batsmen who stand at either end of the pitch. A bowler bowls to one of them trying to get them out in a variety of ways. The batsman must defend the wicket (the three posts behind him) and make runs together with his partner.
Some games, called test matches, can take up to 5 days to play!
