Tag India vs Australia

Its not like in UK, where all visiting teams play matches at popular venues like Lords,Oval or Edgbaston. Its not even like Australia were just 9 of gounds has got the test status.. but its about India ~ an lot bigger & even crazier country to watch cricket matches.

Topic in hand today is Australia playing 7 one day international series against home team India from 29th Septermber to 17th October & finishing with one off twenty20 match at Brabourne stadium in Mumbai. The itinerary will move Aussies cricketers to all length & breaths of India, and thus - buying tickets for those Ind v Aus ODIs is every cricket fan's need. How to do that.. let itsonlycricket.com help you!!

Fact : BCCI is not an active organisation. Their policy to distribute International matches to all small & large cricket stadiums is understandable, but why don't they release the method to buy those match tickets online (through internet I mean), is simply un-understandable.

Option 1 : to buy India-Australia cricket match tickets is to stand in Q, around 5 days before the scheduled match at the respective stadium. The counters will open & tickets will be sold. That's the surest method I can tell you for now.

Option 2 : is for those Australian cricket fans coming to India. Cricket Australia's official site has formed a complete tour package for their fans & you can join former cricketer Terry Alderman (tour host) for this Australia's tour of India. Australian sports tour is the site you need to consult.

Option 3 : is a costly, but purely online process to buy the tickets. This site is selling the match tickets for a long time, & probably all the tickets are gone.. but you can try your luck.

Option 4 : is me telling you the address, phone number & the email id of all those cricket stadium authorities where the matches will be played. If all the above 3 options fail, may be a crazy cricket fan in you can try pinging the officials to book your seat.
