Superb hilt of Australia ashes series level could lead to a record crowd of the world on the day of the opening of the examination CWM boxing day.

"We knew that day would be very strong, ticket sales reported... a crowd of over 80 000", he said. " But we will do now everything in our power to ensure all available seats are taken. I think that the top of the 1980s, perhaps even 90 000, will certainly be a chance.
["Weather] is also quite promising, so all tees with a great opportunity. I look forward now that next week, the interest will increase still further and be on foot at the time where we Bowl the first ball. »
