“Adelaide is, for mine, the best Test host in Australia, if not the world. Adelaide people are cricket people. Few other cities embrace the game like the free settlers; few enjoy the natural advantage of a cricket ground so close to town, or a town so convivial when it comes to the post-match debrief ... Adelaide Oval and Adelaide have Goldilocksed the scale and setting.” – Gideon Haigh.
