MELBOURNE Cheap Adidas Superstar 80's Cut Out Women's White , Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- The woeful performance put up by the West Indies in the opening Test match against Australia last week has given rise to fears that the summer's showpiece - the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) - could be a fizzer, watched by the smallest crowd in 16 years.
The West Indies were beaten inside three days in the first Test in Hobart, as they exhibited none of the flair or skill which marked the great Caribbean sides of the 1970s and 80s, and very little of their predecessors' drawing power.
Such has been the lackluster public response to the West Indies' tour - only 15,343 people turned out to watch the Hobart Test - ticket sales for the second Test in Melbourne have reportedly taken a hit.
Traditionally, the Boxing Day crowd at the MCG - on the day after Christmas - draws more than 70 Cheap Adidas Originals Superstar 80s Metal Toe Gold Foil ,000 fans while series against England, Australia's arch-foe on the cricket field, and India often attracts as many as 75,000 to 85,000 spectators.
But the current West Indies outfit - bereft of many of its best players who have chosen to play in the T20 Big Bash League - will do well to get between 50,000 to 60 Cheap Women's Adidas Originals Superstar Lotus Print Dust Pink Print White ,000 through the gate on Boxing Day, if early ticket sales trends are any guide.
Local media reports suggested the crowd might be the lowest since the 49,082 who turned out in 1999 to watch the start of a rain-affected Test against India.
Cricket Australia, however, has busily been talking up the event and is confident fans will once again converge at the MCG for the showpiece match.
"The Boxing Day Test is one of the great occasions on the Australian sporting calendar and traditionally has great attendance. We expect yet another good crowd this summer," a Cricket Australia spokesperson told Xinhua on Monday.
The MCG's affiliation with Boxing Day cricket began in 1950 and the annual fixture has become arguably the most popular match of the Australian cricketing summer.
The record attendance on the first day of the Boxing Day Test is 91 Cheap Women's Adidas Originals Superstar Supercolor Pack Clear Sky ,112 when Australia played England in the 2013 Ashes series, while that Test also recorded the highest total crowd number when 271,865 fans walked through the turnstiles.
Just months ago the MCG hosted the ICC Cricket World Cup Final between Australia and New Zealand where 93,013 fans packed into the stadium to see the Aussies win the trophy.
The last time the West Indies played a Boxing Day Test, in 2000, the day one crowd at the MCG was 73 Cheap Women's Adidas Originals Superstar Supercolor Pack Pink ,233. That number is set to be substantially higher than what is projected for the first day this year.
West Indian star players Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Darren Sammy and Kieron Pollard have opted to play in the Big Bash League - the 20-over competition staged in Australia each January - rather than represent their country in the Test arena, leaving the team low on quality and lacking experience.
As well as missing star players, the West Indies' form leading up to the Test series against Australia was far from impressive.
In a warm-up match before the first test in Hobart, the Windies played against a Cricket Australia XI Cheap Adidas Originals Superstar Slip On Trainer White , made up mostly of teenagers who have yet to play a game for their states in the Sheffield Shield, and were embarrassed. They lost the match by ten wickets, a feat rarely seen in international cricket today.
That result from the tour match did no favors to the attendance figures for the first Test and the predictions for the remaining matches in Melbourne and Sydney.
After defeating the West Indies in Hobart by an innings and 212 runs, the Aussies are going into the MCG Test as unbackable favorites.
Australians love a winner but the apparent lopsidedness of this contest might be enough to even turn them away from their traditional visit to the MCG on the day after Christmas.
For instance, appear at your utility bill. Take your electrical bill of $250.00 per month and multiply that by 12 months. That would give you $3000.00 per year. In two many years, you will have spent $6000.00. In five many years you will have spent $12 Cheap Adidas x Pharrell Williams Men Vulc Slip On Blue ,000.00. If you take that dollars and put it toward a solar system, you may have paid for it within that time frame. A three kw system runs about $25,000.00. This system will not run your whole home but is a fantastic starter process.
If you live in Louisiana, that state is providing a 50% tax credit up to $25,000.00. So that similar 3 kw system for $25,000.00 has now been diminished to $12 Cheap Adidas Originals Superstar Slip On Trainer Black ,500.00. Based on your tax bill and your present electrical bill, you could spend for this solar process in 5 years. There are also federal tax credits up to $2000.00 obtainable from the U.S. government. Recently, the senate voted not to renew these federal tax credits.
Has you utility bill ever gone down? Keep in mind what your regular bill is appropriate now. In the illustration above, the electrical bill stayed the same. Truly, my electric bill has gone up an normal of 12% a year. Your electrical bill will constantly increase. It will never ever keep the similar. In 25 years, you will have paid $75 Cheap Adidas Women's Originals Superstar Slip on Pink ,000.00.
If you place a solar process in location and it takes you five years to pay for it, you can say you have a stable electrical bill for the subsequent 20 many years right after that. A solar program will pay you back. Right after the first charges of the system, you will reduce your utility bills and your carbon footprint.
If you consider solar is costly now, think again. Believe of what your fuel will be in many years to come.
How can I use solar power to generate electricity to run my house? If this is the query that you are pondering about and you are interested to learn how you can harness solar power to run your property, you would certainly be interested to read this write-up entirely. Making a solar power system is a great way to produce electrical energy as it does not harm the setting and the e.
