Certainly with the tennis they’d usually take the first match or two from Kooyong (with the first scheduled match in Sydney being a doubles affair), then take the bulk of the afternoon session from Sydney (usually women’s singles matches).
As for the cricket, it’s best remembered for Michael Clarke getting out caught and bowled off a straight drive hitting the back of Andrew Symonds’ bat, then ballooning to mid on…and also for Michael Vandort batting as if it was a test match in the chase. Roof was OPEN for the match which was problematic when the sun got in an awkward spot near the pitch.
A Current Affair returned at 6:30 pm after a 4-week break. During the Christmas and New Year Break, ACA unvieled a new look, new set, and a new presenter, Tracy Grimshaw.
HI all - Ive used the search function but couldnt find a result so I am hoping someone can help
I am trying to help someone find the title of a movie they watched on SBS in 2003. It is an Asian horror movie shown after 9PM - they think it was shown on Saturday Night (but they said weekend, could include Friday and SUnday) and they were in Brisbane (but location for SBS shouldnt matter, right?) for a convention that was pre June 10th - although they are sure it was close to end of May
Channel 9 broadcasted the ODI match between Sri Lanka and South Africa from the Gabba. Not to mention that Australia have hosted a chockful of ODI Tri-series every summer, until 2007-08 (and also including 2011-12, 2014-15.
It was the 2nd year however that they moved all the neutral (games not involving Australia) to pure Day fixtures even though the venues save for Hobart (lights weren’t installed there for another couple of years) were all geared to play D/N games since Brisbane and Adelaide got their lights installed in the mid 90’s. Thought they wouldn’t rate as well as the Australian matches. Even in the 80’s and 90’s the 2 non-Australian teams would play a D/N game against each other in Perth (after 1986/87) and often Sydney if the tests were a 5 game series against a single opponent and the Australians played in Hobart during this competition.
