Important Information Ahead of Sixers-Hurricanes

Stuart Clark has fond memories of the 2006-07 Ashes series –&nbsp;and there's little wonder why.
The towering Test quick took more wickets than any other bowler to spearhead the hosts' charge towards the eventual 5-0 series victory.
It was the ultimate redemption story for the Australians following on from the disappointment of the 2005 Ashes tour in England.
"Everyone of those Australian Test matches was a highlight," <a href="https://rss.com/podcasts/scgpod/330295/" data-new-window="true" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Clark told the SCG Podcast.</a>
"But Sydney, it was the first time my mum and dad got a chance to watch me play cricket at the SCG, live for Australia.&nbsp;
"It was a very special moment for me, and my whole family. I got a few wickets, and a few runs as well... It was just a huge, huge moment. It all culminated at the SCG."

From December 2021, Merivale will provide all catering and beverage services at both venues for an initial term of nearly six years until September 2027. 
 
Merivale operates some of Australia’s most iconic dining and entertainment venues and will bring its expertise to the Sydney Cricket Ground for the start of the BBL in December and then in time for Sydney’s New Year’s Test. 
 
The partnership will see Merivale’s celebrated executive chefs Danielle Alvarez (Fred’s), Jordan Toft (mimi’s, Bert’s Bar &amp; Brasserie), Dan Hong (Ms.G’s, Mr. Wong), Mike Eggert (Totti’s), Ben Greeno (The Paddington, Hotel Centennial) and Vincenzo Biondini (Vinnie’s Pizza) bring their expertise into a stadium setting under the leadership of CEO Justin Hemmes, Group Operations Manager (Events) Debbie Higgins and senior talent across the business including Franck Moreau MS and Sam Egerton.&nbsp;

“This is an incredible and truly unique opportunity for Merivale; we are humbled to be a part of Sydney’s sporting and entertainment history. I want to sincerely thank Venues NSW for sharing our vision. This new partnership will see us bring together Merivale's wonderful talent pool, diverse restaurant brands, quality service and inherent love of Sydney to help deliver a world-class experience to every person who steps into the stadium.” 
 
SCG and Venues NSW Chief Executive Officer Kerrie Mather&nbsp;said preparations are in full swing for The Ashes New Year’s Test match in January 2022, the largest annual sporting event on the NSW calendar. 
 
“This is a transformational moment for our precinct and I am so excited about this new partnership with Merivale. I know they will offer our customers, members, sporting and entertainment partners the highest quality food and drink this city has to offer. 
 
“When Merivale brings the best from its amazing collection of venues, we will set a new benchmark in live experiences.” 
 
The SCG’s summer menus are currently being refined by the Merivale executive chef team and the partnership will deliver an offering focused on quality, variety, value for money and ease and speed of service.&nbsp;

Brett Lee Talks The Ashes Rivalry & Playing At The SCG

Sydney Sixers star Dan Christian joins Tim Gilbert on the SCG Podcast in National Reconciliation Week to talk the importance of Reconciliation in the community.
"It's a really important week, a really great week for everyone to recognise Indigenous culture and heritage. We need to keep creating awareness of all the issues Indigenous people face and what they're trying to deal with, every day," Christian said.
"I've been really vocal trying to create some awareness... the theme of the week being about actions – and not words –&nbsp;it starts at a government level for sure."
