Australian Cricket Tours

Australian Cricket Tours Helping You Enjoy Australian Test Cricket Around The World To Every Test Nation Played Since 1995 The Flag) since 1995. That is all.
(17)

‘Australian Cricket Tours’, has evolved from my ‘Waving The Flag’ (a.k.a. I am proudly the only Australian spectator to have seen Australia play in all Test nations (plus the U.A.E.) until Afghanistan and Ireland were granted Test status last July! I've seen Australia play 1st Class cricket in Ireland so look forward to Australia's inaugural tour to Kabul to tick the box on that country! After my

first cricket tour to the West Indies in 1995 I have since lived in London (still on my Australian passport!) and why our 'Cricket Experiences' are quoted in Pound Sterling (GBP£). From originally offering rudimentary tours of match tickets, a bunk bed, and yellow shirt, The Flag matured to fully escorted tours including choice of quality hotels or apartments, airport transfers, domestic travel, day trips, nightly entertainment, and so much more. Amid all these extra-curricular inclusions and additions, The Flag remained focussed on getting you to enjoy cricket across the world with an excellent group in a fun, welcoming, and importantly safe environment, understanding the game visits places far less comforting that your living room. Travel habits have changed markedly since my first tour when one had to visit Australian Embassies to read future tour squad selections in Australian newspapers. Now with everything at your fingertips, you can research and book your cricket travel online from the comfort of your living room but ultimately may still wonder ‘what happens when I get there?’ What I came to appreciate is that the game is far more enjoyable when with others. The affections of The Flag within ourselves was infectious and bound everyone with such enthusiasm that more and more ‘Flaggers’ travelled together year after year. Not only to stay safe in numbers but knowing life at the game together made a far more memorable trip. Many Flaggers have travelled the world independently, driving, hiking, biking, walking, cruising, or flying across 7 continents. They, along with many, know how to travel and do not need their hands held on a ‘cricket tour’ but nonetheless always want to join us and why we are 'Cricket Experiences' rather than a cricket tour. As such we have evolved to bring people together at the game and little else. For each match we create 7-night Experiences including two nights before the test match and 5 nights of each test in 3 or 4-star hotels (depending on the city), two dinner parties, a commemorative tour shirt, and your all-important match tickets. We leave you to get to and from the airport using convenient pre-paid taxis, public transport, or booking a hotel transfer. We leave you to do your preferred sight-seeing, though suggest group experiences should the test end early. And when we distribute match tickets at our dinner, we will detail how to get to and from each venue. As simple as our Experiences are we are still there to assist as required just as we would with a ‘fully inclusive tour’, we just leave you the freedom to do what you want before or after each match, when you want, however you want… without the need to pay for inclusions you just don’t need or want. Importantly for you, my living in the UK doesn't change my passion towards Australia. Not long ago a couple chose not to 'Flag' because they thought it best not to go with a U.K. company so as to keep their money in Australia. They subsequently flew an Asian airline to stay in foreign owned hotels, take day trips hosted by local tour operators, and spend hundreds if not thousands of Australian dollars in local currency. You are going to watch cricket on foreign shores so your money will leave Australia one way or the other so please consider the experience, knowledge, simplicity and value we bring to your cricket travel, rather than where we are based. I look forward to your joining us at Australia's next overseas^ Test Match*. Luke

*^We only travel outside Australia and only watch Limited Over Cricket if scheduled with a Test Match Series.

Who can believe that one of the greatest ODI's of all time was a quarter of a century back?
🏏
That famous photo is the first to be autographed by ALL persons shown.
🏏
The Australia Cricket Team signed this following the World Cup 1999, after which Allan Donald signed in Harare, Zimbabwe in Nov. 1999.
🏏
Umpire Srinivasaraghavan Venkataraghavan signed this in Johannesburg, South Africa, during the England v South Africa test in Nov. 1999.
🏏
'Venkat' verbally confirmed he had never signed any print of this image, making this the 'first' to be inked!!

In its brief 28-year Test life, Antigua Recreation Ground, The ARG, or simply The Rec, hosted many epic and astonishing cricket matches and records.
🏏
In the heart of St John's, it beat the heart and flamed the spirit of a nation who flocked to this tiny venue (capacity 8000) whenever flannels were adorned.
🏏
The first test century by a West Indian on The Rec was aptly Antigua's living National Hero Sir Vivian Richards!
🏏
Brian Lara achieved the World Recod highest Test scores of 375 & 400, both against England!🥳
🏏
Australia's come from behind win in the 4th Test in 1999 to level the series 2-2 and retain the Frank Worrell Trophy.
🏏
Set 418, the West Indies chased a new World Record to win the 4th Test in 2003, preventing a 4-0 Australian series victory.
🏏
It was an amazing venue to watch cricket, memories which sadly will not be relived, with this famous rickety old ground abandoned for distant concrete enormity.
🏏
Thankfully, one can still pop their head in the gates for a nostalgic stroll around the park.

Plenty of bench seating, music, gardens, relaxation, and importantly, lots of TVs showing cricket!

Not that any team today gives a s**t about how many overs they bowl in a day, they are nonetheless 'advised' of their progress throughout the day on the scoreboard.
🏏
Sitting next to the scoreboard operators at , one can see the 'official' innings timer.
🏏
At 5.30pm, with 30mins of scheduled play remaining and 19 overs still to bowl, 'officially', there was still 1 hour and 28 minutes of play, and only 2 overs behind.
🏏
Not that the gives a toss either about getting 90 overs bowled in a day, how can official timers tell the bowling side there's still 88 mins of play, 30 minutes before scheduled stumps?
🏏
We were robbed of 8 overs on Day 1 in Christchurch, and likely similar on Day 2 with 13 overs still to bowl at 6pm.
🏏
Bowl 30 overs, go to lunch!
🏏
Bowl 30 overs, go to tea!

Bowl 30 overs, go home!

Very Flipping Simple!!!

It doesn't take much to help people enjoy the day at the game. 🏏 Since our first tour to New Zealand in 2000, there has always been 'Fans on the Field' at the lunch break. 🏏 All the socials in 2024 suggest this is something new, whereas it's just new to people touring NZ for the first time. 🏏 Whilst Australian venues, year-on-year, throw greater restriction, limitations, and wet blankets on spectators, who are little more than inconveniences until we go home, it is amazing to go and know that even in 2024, entry to NZ venues remains relaxed, welcoming and respectful as they always have been. 🏏 #PleaseDontChange 🏏 Thank you New Zealand Cricket for keeping the fun for everyone at the cricket in NZ; you are always a pleasure to tour. 🏏 Now, can you work on us touring every 2 years, and for 3 Tests, please? 🏏 @BLACKCAPSNZ @HagleyOval @CelloBasinReserve 🏏 #NZvAUS #NZCricket #NewZealandCricket #AustralianCricketTours #AustralianCricket #Cricket #LoveCricket #HagleyOval #BasinReserve #Christchurch #Wellington #NewZealand
