Record First-day Crowd for Ashes Test at MCG

Melbourne: The opening day of the fourth Australia-England Ashes Test set a new world record crowd at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday.

Ground officials announced a first-day attendance of 90,831 and the biggest single-day crowd for a cricket Test match.

The massive Boxing Day turnout eclipsed the previous record first-day crowd at the MCG of 90,800 set in the 1961 Test between Australia and the West Indies.

Australia have already claimed the Ashes urn off England with an unassailable 3-0 series lead after huge Test victories in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
