Here at the SCG you can watch cricket, State Cricket, and more importantly Test Match Cricket during the summer months.
(in the Winter it is the venue for Australian Rules Football.)
Equipment: Sunhat, sunbloc, picnic, binnoculars, and of course the All Important Entrance Ticket, do not forget that !!!

If you are lucky enough to be in Sydney when a test match is going on, the later into a test(days 3, 4, and 5), the better your chances to get a ticket.
Equipment: Definately bring suntan lotion, a cap and have a great time!

The Sydney Cricket Ground, otherwise affectionately known as the S.C.G. is one of the best cricket grounds in the world, not just for viewing an international match but for the atmosphere and excitement found.
If you do like cricket and are able to get hold of an international ticket then I suggest you try and find your way to the ground. You won't be sorry.
Equipment: Sunblock and comfortable clothes, you'll be in the sun most of the day if the weather holds out!
Some binoculars is a popular accessory to get a closer view of the action.

A wonderful place to watch cricket for the day. Incredibly cheap to enter as it was only £2 for the last day of a 4 day inter-state match. What a bargain. And you get to see most of the top Australian stars to boot. A great day out if you like cricket. If not definitely stay away.

Watching cricket is nice, but for a cloggie a weird experience. Watching the Barmy Army though is amazing, fantastic, the best fun!
