Daniel Andrews says ‘there will be a crowd’Melbourne Cup to stay behind closed doorsA crowd at the MCG for the
boxing Day Test has been all but guaranteed by Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews as the state’s
Coronavirus restrictions were significantly eased. Melbourne will start to open up following more than four months in hard lockdown, after no Covid-19 cases were recorded in Victoria on Monday.
Cricket Australia is yet to lock in its international schedule for a summer highlighted by a blockbuster four-Test series against
India. Premier Andrews said the lifting of restrictions meant it was too late for crowds to attend next month’s Melbourne Cup, but not the biggest day in
Australian Cricket.
