Media guide – Season 2012-13
WELCOME
Welcome to another great summer of KFC T20 Big Bash League action.
Beginning with the Adelaide Strikers’ first match against the Perth Scorchers on December 9
and finishing on January 10 at home against the Perth Scorchers, the Adelaide Strikers are
looking forward to another busy summer of cricket.
As you would be aware significant transformations are taking place. Work has begun on the
$535 million redevelopment with stage one, the upgrade of the northern mound, now complete.
With temporary facilities in place we ask for your patience and understanding.
We hope your work at Adelaide Oval is enjoyable and that together we witness another
memorable season of T20 cricket at Adelaide Oval.
The Adelaide Strikers are owned by the South Australian Cricket
Association (SACA).
Formed in 1871, the Association manages the West End
Redbacks, the Scorpions and the Adelaide Strikers and is the
controlling body for the South Australian Grade Cricket League.

The KFC T20 Big Bash Fantasy
League is giving fans the
opportunity to fill the role of Big
Bash League coach and take on
their mates and the nation in the
ultimate battle of cricketing
smarts.
Apart from invaluable bragging
rights, fans will also have the
chance to win the cash prize of
$10,000, plus plenty of weekly
prizes. Like a real coach, they’ll
be responsible for selecting,
trading and talking trash in
pursuit of coaching glory. The
game is easy to learn and free to
play.
Fantasy players will have one
million dollars at their disposal to
choose a squad of 15 and then
select 11 to play each week.
Points are scored depending on
the actual performance of
players in the League, so they’ll
need to be ruthless both on the
selection table and in the trading
room.
With big Aussie and international
players including Warne, Gayle,
Warner, Tait, Watson, Ponting,
Johnson, Malinga, Pollard, Botha,
Bravo, Ferguson and many more,
coaches will have to do their
research and pay attention to all
aspects of the game; from runs
and wickets right down to strike
rates and stumpings!
Apart from giving fans the
chance to stick it to their mates
in their own private league,
they’ll be able to pit their wits
against our very own Richo, who
has signed up to play.

DRESS CODE
On match days, working media can only enter Adelaide Oval via the northern
gate (Clarrie Grimmett gate) from Pennington Terrace.
Staff at that gate have been briefed to recognise the various categories of
media accreditation and will be able to provide you with assistance.
Ensuring patrons, employees, contractors and working media are able to
enter Adelaide Oval in a timely manner and in accordance with ICC security
standards is a complex task. For this reason, there are mandatory bag
checks. We ask for your cooperation and that you refrain from placing staff at
other gates in the uncomfortable position of having to refuse you entry.
The gate will open every day of play from a minimum of one hour before start
of play.
To access Adelaide Oval during non-match times (ie. team practice sessions)
media entry will be via the northern gate.
CAR PARKING: There are no dedicated media car parks within the Adelaide
Oval precinct.
