No WACA test for 2014/15 season

[oxleymoron]

The WACA has been dropped as test venue for next summer - Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide will host the 4 tests v India.

Looks purely to be based on number of seats available for attendances - MCG 100k, SCG 50k, Adel Oval 50k, Gabba 36k and WACA is abt 25k

OH WHAT A LOAD OF SHIT!!! The last thing the WACA needs is a lack of support from CA! Don't they know the WAFC and their government chronies have been trying to shut down this ground for years! I'm waiting for the fuckin' headlines now...

Few rumours doing the rounds already that India don't want to play here in Perth due to the fast and bouncy nature of the WACA pitch

Wouldn't surpise me that Cricket Australia has sold out to their Indian masters for a few rupees

No need because I reckon those rumours are on the money

Wouldn't surprise me one iota either. Been discussing it on Twitter this morning. Brown paper bags would still come under the guise of "a commercial decision" so CA's explanation is still valid

Are there any West Aussies on the CA board?

Use the reciprocal rights of the membership to get to any of the other tests.

But, it's only India - I reckon that the WACA have dodged a bullet.

I tried that when I was a memeber and could only get reciprocal after day 4 and the MCG.
There are a lot of Indian followers in Perth
