I like that they filled up with the space with a ‘STILL THE ONE’ graphic.

A One-Day International match between Australia and Sri Lanka was played at the Telstra Dome (aka Docklands Stadium), instead of the Melbourne Cricket Ground. I remembered that game being played at Telstra Dome. The reason why the MCG was unavailable was becuase they had to do some renovations and preparations for the 2006 Commonwealth Games. The MCG was the centrepiece of the Games.
Channel 7 broadcasted the Sydney International and the Kooyong Classic in Melbourne in one program. If I remember correctly, Channel 7 would flick from the Sydney International to the Kooyong classic.

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.
