James Sutherland Fans Quotations

We encourage Australian cricket fans to send their message of support to our team as they prepare for this important contest, ... It has been an incredible series and the English team has enjoyed massive home-town support. We hope to leave Ricky Ponting and his team in no doubt as to the huge level of support they have from Australians back home.

There are various, I guess, technical issues which need to be worked through but the really important message is that for Australian cricket fans we have created a window of priority access.

We want to make sure that Australian cricket fans make up the majority of the crowd.

This is a world-class event and Australian cricket is proud to play host. We believe it will be something fans will talk about for years to come, just as they recall the 1977 Centeneray Test and the 1971-72 Rest of the World Series.

This is going to be the biggest summer of cricket that we've ever seen and we want to make sure that Australian cricket fans are there and make up the majority of the crowd.

In establishing this offer we will be aiming to reward Australian fans who register as members of the Cricket Family while also ensuring as many Australians as possible have access to next summer's matches. If you're an Australian and want to support the team in the forthcoming Test Series, register online now and give yourself the best chance of being there.

It was important that we sent as strong a team as possible. We did not want to send the wrong message to New Zealand fans and New Zealand Cricket.
