League Notes: After-Match Kick-To-Kick To Return To Melbourne Cricket Ground

The after-match kick-to-kick on the Melbourne Cricket Ground "will return in 2015." In a significant backdown by the Australian Football League and the MCC, "the ban that has for years prevented football supporters from treading onto the MCG turf for a post-game kick will be lifted for more than half the home-and-away rounds next season" (SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, 11/10). ... Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said that "a future where most Test cricket is played in a day-night format is not out of the question." He cited the sparse crowds at the stadiums in which Australia were beaten by Pakistan as further evidence of the "open and shut case" for a later timeslot (SMH, 11/11). ... Two more countries have made contributions to the World Anti-Doping Agency's embryonic fund for new anti-doping research, "enabling the initiative to creep closer" to its $20M target. South Korea "has made an initial contribution" of $184,000, with a commitment to providing an eventual $500,000. New Zealand's contribution totals $20,000 (INSIDE THE GAMES, 11/9).
