Why This Match is Special
The 150th Anniversary Test marks 150 years since the very first Test match was played between England and Australia at the MCG in March 1877. This one-off match returns to the same ground to commemorate that historic occasion. It is not part of a full Ashes series, but it carries all the weight and rivalry of one, and is being treated by both cricket boards as a landmark event.
For England fans, it represents a rare opportunity to watch England play Australia at the MCG outside of an Ashes tour and with the 2029/30 Ashes still several years away, this is the next chance to see the old rivals go head to head in Australia.
The Melbourne Cricket Ground
The MCG is the spiritual home of Australian cricket and one of the great sporting venues in the world. With a capacity of over 100,000, it hosted the very first Test match in 1877 and has been at the centre of Anglo-Australian cricket ever since. A Day/Night Test under the MCG lights is a spectacular experience and March in Melbourne means warm evenings, a vibrant city, and one of the world’s great sporting atmospheres.
