Australia to play Pakistan in day-night Test in Brisbane - dillinger10 - 05-31-2016
Quote:The South Africans may have decided they didn’t want to come to Test cricket’s new party – the one that takes place at night – but Pakistan are game. As part of a deal that ensures Test cricket will be played in Brisbane for the next three years, Australia are to face Pakistan in a day-night Test this December.
The first Test of the series against Pakistan will take place under lights at the Gabba.
The first Gabba day-night Test will be a wonderful occasion. It’s a great opportunity for the Queensland fans to come in school holidays and it is an ideal way to celebrate the partnership with very accessible ticket pricing.

Australia have also announced a reduction in ticket prices. I think this is a very good move, especially in light of the number of empty seats seen throughout last years matches in Australia.
Quote:Furthermore, tickets are set to be cheaper than last season’s prices, with Cricket Australia announcing “entry level tickets for international matches from $30 for adults, $10 for children and $65 for families at venues in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane and Melbourne, and from $25 for adults, $8 for children and $54 for families in Hobart, making the summer of cricket even more appealing and affordable.â€
