at The BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground, Hove
Friday 26th to Sunday 28th July 2013
Sussex County Cricket Club are delighted to announce that they will be hosting the Australians once again when they tour England for the next Ashes series in 2013.
The Aussies began their 2009 tour at Hove and will this time visit The BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground for a three-day match between Friday 26th and Sunday 28th July 2013. It will mean that Australia have visited Hove in three out of their last four Ashes tours and their new-look side will be aiming to win back the Urn for the first time on English soil since 2001, with the match against Sussex no doubt proving crucial to their preparations.
The drawn match in 2009 could have nearly seen a famous win for Sussex who after being set a target of 418 to win the match, had Carl Hopkinson (115) and Michael Yardy (67) to thank for pushing them close to the target before the match was called a draw at 373 for 7.
The crowd for that match three years ago totalled nearly 25,000 across the four days and the County will be aiming to match that success next summer, particularly with the new facilities having given the ground a fresh look since their last visit.
There are also two NatWest Womens One-Day Internationals at Hove this season, with England taking on their Australian counterparts on Friday 23rd and Sunday 25th August. The Women played one of their NatWest T20 Internationals against the West Indies at The BrightonandHoveJobs.com County Ground in 2012 and with a clutch of Sussex players within their squad, they will be looking forward to returning to Hove infront of a big crowd at the end of August. Ticket details for these matches will follow nearer the time.
Please note the Alcohol Policy for this match is the same as a Friends Life t20 match where NO alcohol is allowed to be brought into the ground.
Tickets for the match(es) will go on sale on February 4th 2013. To see all of Sussex's Fixtures in 2013, click HERE
