When I remember the name MCG I think about only those huge boundary lines 4 to 5 slip fielders a ball coming with a great out swing slip fielder catches and crowd roars that means MCG = Cricket 🌏❤️
"Nothing can match it"...not sure about that. There is a magical transformation of the Sydney Cricket Ground to be seen on YT. It was done in 2014 for the season opening game of that year's Major League Baseball competition. The Dodgers had a home game against Arizona on a field set up by MLB groundsmen. The conversion had to conform to MLB playing standards. It won global awards.
The Footy Fan 24 nah basketball can be held there, like marvel they held a basketball game there, but then again it’s an indoor sport so the MCG wouldn’t be good enough
Legends know that it isn't merely cricket ground. In fact, it became cricket ground much later. It was a normal ground before and worldwide known as *The G*
After seeing a lot of comments of people from subcontinent. I can be sure that they can't look anything beyond cricket. Even though cricket is dead in Australia and England.
AFL is considered most popular sport in Australia. Although it's a cricket ground, people hardly watch cricket here in melbourne. Cricket is nearly at dying position here in Australia because lack of interest in youngstars. More youngstars are into onlinegamings few likes AFL. Another reason is that people in Australia now days considered cricket as a third world sport, also most people found it boring. Yet MCG has lot of history about cricket, so ironically i think the name of this ground will never change.
lol man. I think you don't know definition of 3rd world. 3rd world countries were those who didn't participated in world war. Also BBL have more attendance than AFL
Haha I mean you can do whatever you want to do in stadium but don't forget one thing this stadium has so much to do with the history of a sports . MCG has a very crucial role in history of cricket .. And you think why cricket is dying a sports with such a rich history world historic stadium like MCG is hosting other sports and people considering it as a good move .. .There was a time when Aus was undefeatable at home .Nowadays it's pitch ...:)
I don't think any football can match the level of entertainment ind vs pak 23 Oct game gave at MCG Football has it's own limitations to give entertainment
@@hhandle that doesn't refute my statement More people watch porn does this make porn better than football and Mia khalifa a bigger personality than Messi??
@@Playerone1287 why mix different fields yes Mia is popular in porn industry but in sports football is more popular than cricket whether you believe it or not
@@dashtoroya2838 i wasn't talking about popularity and stadium atmosphere btw i don't think those 98k fans would be yelling their country's name at every other 20-30 seconds that's what cricket gives you entertainment at every ball stop being andhbhakt/andhnamazi of football

@@adhwaith1801 mcg? Isn't mcg is a cricket ground. They play Australian football there. And they have different stadium for soccer. Where people actually doesn't care about soccer but cares about footy a lot
@@willsocietyacceptmecauseio1276 yes mcg...mcg has hosted top European teams like Liverpool, Manchester United, real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur etc for some friendly games with sold out crowds..liverpool game was filled with 100000 Australian liverpool fans while the opposition team was an Australian club....and also some international games with Argentina, Brazil etc....all games where sold out...their a league grand finals also gets sold out crowds... Australia is actually a sporting country...they support almost every sport...they really cares about the national football team called the socceroos that they get sold out crowds every time they play...for the last wc in Russia, almost 50000 Australians travelled to Russia to support their country... ofcourse Australia really care
