Away from the cricket, Perth Stadium’s media team sent round a note to journalists proudly stating that ‘The West Test’, will be ‘the biggest single event ever held’ at the ground and that over one tonne of pork belly, two tonnes of butter chicken and two tonnes of lamb shoulder will be prepared. And that’s just for those in Premium Hospitality. Whatever metric is used, the conclusion is the same, that this is the biggest Ashes series in terms of interest, eyeballs and pork belly, of all time.
