MCG could lose big matches

Posted on 08/15/2007 in Australian cricket

One-day internationals could be played at the Telstra Dome instead of the MCG after 2008-09, Chloe Saltau reports in the Age.

The right to host international cricket in Melbourne may be put to tender if Cricket Victoria cannot strike a more favourable commercial agreement with the Melbourne Cricket Club. "The closer we get to the conclusion of the agreement, the more likely it is to go to tender," the Cricket Victoria chairman Geoff Tamblyn said. There is also a possibility that cricket could be divided between the MCG and Telstra Dome, with the MCG continuing to host the Boxing Day Test while one-day internationals are played across town at Docklands.

In the same paper there is a piece on Romesh Kaluwitharana, who has been completing a level two coaching course.
