India vs Australia: The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) witnessed history on Monday as the all-time attendance record for the iconic venue was shattered during the fourth Test between India and Australia. The total attendance for the match reached an unprecedented 350,700, surpassing the previous record of 350,535 set during the 1937 Ashes series, a time when the legendary Don Bradman was at his peak. The crowd numbers soared as 51,371 spectators were present at lunchtime on the final day, ensuring the milestone was achieved. By post-lunch, the attendance for Day 5 climbed beyond 60,000, as fans flocked to the stadium to witness the thrilling conclusion with India chasing a challenging target of 340 runs. "Day 5 current attendance is 51,371. The total attendance of 350,700 is the greatest for any Test match at the MCG exceeding the total of 350,534 v England in 1937 over 6 days. This is also the greatest attendance for any Test match played in Australia," said Cricket Australia in a release. The fourth Test between India and Australia has also become the second highest attended game of all time behind only the India-Pakistan game at the Eden Gardens in 1999 when the overall turnout stood at 4,65,000. It was not a record but as many as 87,242 fans watched the proceedings on day one. Day two turnout was a record with 85,147 people thronging to the stadium and so was day three when 83,073 fans walked into the iconic venue. On Sunday, the count was 43,867. All tickets for the action on Monday were priced at 10 Australian dollars. "I've not seen anything like it at a cricket match," Melbourne Cricket Club boss Stuart Fox was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au. "I think that just the spirit in the stadium ... all of our staff on day one just said how happy the crowd were. I thought Taylor Swift was big, but this has been something else. "But I think with Taylor Swift coming in, a fantastic AFL season, then this Boxing Day Test, it's (2024) going to be hard to beat, I can assure you," he added. Inputs from PTI

Get Me Out Of Here! fans heaped praise on Coleen Rooney and said ‘Wagatha's back’ as she rumbled Maura Higgins and Rev Richard Coles’ camp secret. Maura and Richard entered the Australian jungle during Thursday night’s episode and are living in a separate camp named the Jungle Junkyard. The pair were horrified by the very basic camp before they discovered it was full of luxuries – including a bed and a bath - which they have been tasked with hiding from their other campmates. The mission also saw the pair convince the main camp to donate a bed to them on Thursday night, after writing them a heartfelt letter. However, at the start of Friday’s show, in a preview of the episode, it showed that suspicions have started to arise, with Coleen Rooney, 38, heard wondering if they were really struggling in Jungle Junkyard as much as they are making out. Viewers soon rushed to X to say that Coleen’s detective skills are back. One person said: “Coleen really is Wagatha Christie isn’t she #ImACeleb” Others said: “Course it’s Wagatha Christie Coleen that’s able to rumble them #ImACeleb. Get this woman in the police force, she can solve anything” and: “Of course Coleen will be first to crack the case. Wagatha's back! #ImACeleb.” Later on, during dinner time on Friday night’s episode, Maura and Richard received a full spread of fish, sides and dessert - unbeknownst to the main camp. The note which accompanied it read: "However, as the celebrities in main camp believe you won zero stars in today’s Trial, they have been given the chance to sacrifice some of their dinner so that you can eat tonight. If they decide to sacrifice their food then you win three more portions at the junk food buffet.” Main camp decided to give up some of their dinner, with Coleen and Danny Jones delivering the goods to the Jungle Junkyard to check Maura, Richard and Dean, who has newly joined them in their camp. However, when Coleen and Danny returned back to main camp, Coleen aired her suspicions. She said: "To be honest, they looked better than they did yesterday. "I got this look and it's like they are not telling us the truth. There's something they are not telling us." She added: "I came out of there not convinced they are living in them conditions." It comes after Coleen said going to court over her Wagatha Christie feud with Rebekah Vardy was her “worst nightmare” as she felt she was “putting on a show for the whole world”, but added she was not scared about making the viral post which kicked off the dispute. Coleen, who is married to ex-England footballer Wayne Rooney, was asked about the high-profile libel trial with Rebekah, the wife of Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy, during Monday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity. Coleen was dubbed Wagatha Christie when she accused Rebekah of leaking her private information to the press. In July 2022, a judge at the High Court found the post was “substantially true”. GK Barry asked Coleen if she was scared to make the social media post, to which Coleen said: “No, because I just didn’t think it would have the impact it did, because I was just that sick and tired of it, it was draining.” “That was my worst nightmare to go to court... I felt ashamed going to court because I am not that type to play things out in public. “I just felt like it was like putting on a show for the whole world. I didn’t want that, I wanted to settle it before and get it done with. “What got me, over the whole thing, was it became a bit of a joke and that’s really disappointing, it wasn’t a joke for me. “...But no one knew the full story.”
