MCG eyes record

Cricket Australia says all available tickets for the opening day of the December 26 Boxing Day test against England have been sold at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the crowd could break a 52-year-old world record for single-day attendance. The MCG’s official capacity is 100,000, although without all the standing room seats being sold, it’s about 98,000 to 99,000. The current attendance record for a single day is 90,800, also at the MCG, during a West Indies test against Australia in 1961. The first match of this year’s five-test Ashes series begins on November 21 in Brisbane.
