56-546: The Australian Tri-Series was an annual one day international (ODI) cricket tournament held in Australia, and contested by Australia and two touring teams. The series was the primary format for international one-day cricket throughout most of the early history of ODI cricket in Australia, staged during the height of the Australian cricket season, in the summer months of December, January and February. The tri-series

The grandstand has seating for around 2,000 patrons with the seating in the top level of the grandstand having been retained. In 2018, the Hawthorn Football Club announced plans to build a new training and administration facility named

The state-level heritage listing of Waverley Park has been cited by the executive director of Heritage Victoria as the seminal case for an understanding of the cultural heritage significance of 20th-century places. Successful lobbying saw Heritage Victoria grant legislative protection to the site and, beginning in December 2002, portions of
224-489: A reported $ 110 million; Once the plans were approved, the ground was demolished starting on 11 December 2002. Following its cessation as a venue for AFL football, the stadium fell into a state of disrepair, and anticipating complete demolition, the City of Greater Dandenong , on behalf of football patrons in southeast Victoria, moved quickly to nominate the whole of the facility and its grounds for heritage listing. The basis for
280-406: A result of disputes and poor performances, Kenya's ODI status was reduced to temporary in 2005, meaning that it had to perform well at World Cup Qualifiers to keep ODI status. Kenya lost ODI status after finishing in fifth place at the 2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier event. The ICC can also grant special ODI status to all matches within certain high-profile tournaments, with the result being that
336-536: A stadium catering for up to 157,000 patrons, which would have made it one of the biggest in the world. To accommodate the large number of patrons, the members' stand was to be extended around the whole ground. However, in 1982-1983, when the extensions were due to commence, the Government of Victoria , led by Premier John Cain , who was a member of the Melbourne Cricket Club , refused to approve

It takes into consideration the fact that the wickets in hand plays a crucial role in pacing the run-rate and that a team with more wickets in hand can play way more aggressively than the team with fewer wickets in hand. When insufficient overs are played (usually 20 overs) to apply
616-573: The Hawthorn Football Club a similar arrangement to what fellow AFL club Adelaide have with Football Park in Adelaide . The Hawthorn Football Club moved its administrative and training facilities from Glenferrie Oval to a redeveloped Waverley Park early in 2006 in preparation for the 2006 season . The facility incorporates an MCG-dimension oval, the size of the playing arena having been reduced from its original size, and includes

The following eight teams currently have this status (the dates listed in brackets are of their first ODI match after gaining temporary ODI status): Additionally, eight teams have previously held this temporary ODI status before either being promoted to Test Status or relegated after under-performing at
728-596: The Victorian Heritage Register . The seating capacity is now 6,000, down from a peak of 72,000–90,000. Waverley Park (then VFL Park) was first conceived in 1959 when delegates from the 12 VFL clubs asked the league to find land that was suitable for the building of a new stadium. In September 1962, the VFL secured a 212-acre (86 ha) block of grazing and market garden land in Mulgrave . The area
784-518: The 1988 season, automatic turnstiles were introduced at the members' entrance. In its history, 732 AFL/VFL matches were played at Waverley Park, 70 of which were finals and one a grand final. Waverley Park hosted many special events other than Australian rules football. These included: In 1988 concrete cancer was discovered in the Southern Stand at the MCG. This provided the impetus to replace
840-636: The 50-year-old stand with a state-of-the-art facility that was completed in 1992 at a cost of $ 150 million, subsequently named the Great Southern Stand. The new stand was jointly funded by the AFL, allowing the AFL the opportunity to negotiate a better commercial arrangement with the Melbourne Cricket Club. This reduced the AFL's incentive to drive finals and blockbuster games to Waverley Park. The old practice of scheduling 'match of
896-485: The Commonwealth Bank Series during this time. The tri-series format returned in the 2011–12 season, but did not herald a permanent return to the format. A shortened tri-series of only seven matches (six round-robin matches and a final) was played in the 2014–15 season in the lead-up to the 2015 World Cup in Australia. Played mostly during a strong era for Australian cricket, Australia won twenty of
952-461: The DLS, a match is declared no result. Important one-day matches particularly in the latter stages of major tournaments, may have two days set aside, such that a result can be achieved on the "reserve day" if the first day is washed out—either by playing a new game, or by resuming the match which was rain-interrupted. Because the game uses a white ball instead of the red ball used in first-class cricket ,
1008-620: The Supersub was of far more benefit to the side that won the toss, unbalancing the game. Several international captains reached "gentleman's agreements" to discontinue this rule late in 2005. They continued to name Supersubs, as required but they did not field them by simply using them as a normal 12th man. On 15 February 2006, the ICC announced their intention to discontinue the Supersub rule on 21 March 2006. Two balls were trialed in ODI for two years but it
1064-526: The World Cup Qualifier: The ICC occasionally granted associate members permanent ODI status without granting them full membership and Test status. This was originally introduced to allow the best associate members to gain regular experience in internationals before making the step up to full membership. First Bangladesh and then Kenya received this status. Bangladesh have since made the step up to Test status and full membership; but as

When the World Series Cricket schism ended in 1979–80, the tri-series format was retained. Throughout its existence, the tournament was held as a series of One Day Internationals , featuring a round-robin played amongst the three teams, followed by a finals series played between
1176-454: The ball can become discolored and hard to see as the innings progresses, so the ICC has used various rules to help keep the ball playable. Most recently, ICC has made the use of two new balls (one from each end), the same strategy that was used in the 1992 and 1996 World Cups so that each ball is used for only 25 overs. Previously, in October 2007, the ICC sanctioned that after the 34th over,

#17327761924391232-410: The ball would be replaced with a cleaned previously used ball. Before October 2007 (except 1992 and 1996 World Cups), only one ball would be used during an innings of an ODI and it was up to the umpire to decide whether to change the ball. The bowling side is subjected to fielding restrictions during an ODI, in order to prevent teams from setting wholly defensive fields. Fielding restrictions dictate
1288-520: The boundary lines and goals were relocated to make the playing area a similar size to that of the MCG. Waverley allowed Gippsland-based football patrons to attend VFL games, given the shorter travelling distance. Although its relative remoteness was irritating for some, it was a significant multi-purpose venue not based in the environs of the Melbourne CBD. In contrast with more central venues, its reliance on car transport to get spectators to
1344-429: The circle in the first fifteen overs, then five fielders allowed outside the circle for the remaining overs. This was shortened to ten overs in 2005, and two five-over powerplays were introduced, with the bowling team and batting team having discretion over the timing for one-one each. In 2008, the batting team was given discretion for the timing of one of the two powerplays. In 2011, the teams were restricted to completing
1400-400: The discretionary powerplays between the 16th and 40th overs; previously, the powerplays could take place at any time between the 11th and 50th overs. Finally, in 2012, the bowling powerplay was abandoned, and the number of fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle during non-powerplay overs was reduced from five to four. The trial regulations also introduced a substitution rule that allowed
1456-409: The first of the 1977 night-series televised matches. In 1982, a monochrome video matrix scoreboard was installed, for the first time in VFL history, displaying instant replay highlights. In 1984, the arena was re-turfed and the drainage system upgraded. Two years later a mosaic mural, commemorating many great names of VFL football, was installed on the grandstand façade above the members' entrance. During

1568-412: The introduction of a replacement player at any stage in the match and until he was called up to play he assumed the role of 12th man. Teams nominated their replacement player, called a Supersub , before the toss. The Supersub could bat, bowl, field or keep wicket once a player was replaced; the replaced player took over the role of 12th man. Over the six months it was in operation, it became very clear that
1624-417: The main the laws of cricket apply, but with each team batting for a fixed number of overs . In the early days of ODI cricket the number of overs varied from 40 to 60 overs per side (or 35 to 40 eight-ball overs), but it has been uniformly fixed at 50 overs since the mid-1990s. Simply stated, the game works as follows: Where a number of overs are lost, for example, due to inclement weather conditions, then
1680-599: The matches with coloured uniforms was the WSC Australians in wattle gold versus WSC West Indians in coral pink, played at VFL Park in Melbourne on 17 January 1979. This led not only to Packer's Channel 9 getting the TV rights to cricket in Australia but also led to players worldwide being paid to play, and becoming international professionals, no longer needing jobs outside cricket. Matches played with coloured kits and
1736-405: The maximum number of fielders allowed to be outside the thirty-yard circle. Under current ODI rules, there are three levels of fielding restrictions: The three powerplays are referenced by P1, P2 and P3 respectively, usually displayed near the score in modern scorecards. Fielding restrictions were first introduced in the Australian 1980–81 season. By 1992, only two fielders were allowed outside

1792-410: The nomination is that the stadium was the first major stadium purpose built for Australian rules football, that its construction and ownership by the VFL provided the basis on which the league built its power base and eventual evolution to become the AFL, that it hosted the 1991 AFL Grand Final, that night-time cricket games were first held at the ground, and that the members' (or K.G. Luke) stand features

The league-owned VFL Park had originally been built with the intent of replacing the MCG as the permanent home of the grand final, but the Victorian government, with interests in the MCG, refused to allow its capacity upgrade. No further development occurred and the ground capacity

In 1999 the Australian Football League announced that it would not schedule any further matches at Waverley Park. Instead it would aim to sell the ground and its surrounding land, hoping to raise a sum of $ 30 million to $ 80 million to go towards the construction of a new stadium under construction at Docklands at
2016-456: The series has taken on several mostly commercial names: After the 2007–08 season, the tri-series format was abandoned as a regular fixture. For three seasons (2008–09 until 2010–11), Australia still played ODIs against two touring teams, but these were staged as separate ODI series against a single opponent. The Commonwealth Bank was still the naming rights sponsor of ODI cricket in Australia during these summers, so all series were still known as
2072-477: The stadium was far from completed, with only the first level of the K.G. Luke Stand having been finished. The rest of the stadium had only been constructed to ground level. The Public Reserve Stands encircling the rest of the stadium were finished in 1974, at a cost of $ 4.5 million, and the car park was extended to fit a total of 25,000 cars. Lighting was added in May 1977, at a cost of $ 1.2 million, in time for
2128-453: The stadium were demolished except for the members' stand and the members' stand mural. The surrounding car park has been replaced by suburban housing, including 1,400 new dwellings for 3,500 people. In homage to the original place and its purpose, the street layout mirrors the original car park and street names honour Waverley's patron Sir Kenneth Luke , architect Reginald Padey and other associations with football and cricket. The members' stand
2184-420: The thirty-one tri-series played up to 2014–15. Australia failed to reach the finals on only three occasions. West Indies, who featured in the series frequently during the 1980s, was the next most successful team, winning six tournaments. Other international teams to win the tri-series were England (twice), India, Pakistan and South Africa (once each). One day international One Day International ( ODI )
2240-438: The times of their ODI debuts): Between 2005 and 2017, the ICC granted temporary ODI status to six other teams (known as Associate members ). In 2017, this was changed to four teams, following the promotion of Afghanistan and Ireland to Test status (and permanent ODI status). The ICC had previously decided to limit ODI status to 16 teams. Teams earn this temporary status for a period of four years based on their performance in
2296-417: The top two. The most common format over the years was that each team played each other four times in the round-robin, followed by a final decided by a best-of-three series (with the third match played only if necessary), for a total of fourteen or fifteen ODIs played through the summer. The basic format has been unchanged throughout the tri-series' history, but specific details have varied: Over its duration,

2352-434: The total number of overs may be reduced. In the early days of ODI cricket, the team with the better run rate won (see Average Run Rate method ), but this favoured the second team. For the 1992 World Cup , an alternative method was used of simply omitting the first team's worst overs (see Most Productive Overs method ) but that favoured the first team. Since the late 1990s, the target or result has usually been determined by
2408-421: The venue at the conclusion of the 2000 season. The 2000 VFA/VFL Grand Final was the last official game of football played at the venue when Sandringham 15.18 (108) defeated North Ballarat 11.11 (77) in front of a sparse crowd of 8,652 people. Afterwards, Waverley Park was not maintained and vandals eventually broke into the site and damaged the facilities. The playing surface, once one of the best in Australia,
2464-492: The venue became an obvious weakness. The legacy of Waverley Park remains controversial. Under the direction of architect Reginald E. Padey of Meldrum and Partners, work started at the site on 5 January 1966 when the VFL President Sir Kenneth Luke turned the first sod. Construction of the stadium involved the excavation of 378,000 cubic yards (289,000 m ) of topsoil, and the surface of the oval
2520-404: The venue was made by the AFL, the ground's fundamental flaws were highlighted. Despite an excellent playing surface and its own water storage, focus shifted to its unfavourable position, and its antiquated corporate and spectator facilities available, such as the originally high tech but now ageing sepia-toned video screen. Although Waverley Park was only 20 minutes from the Melbourne CBD by car and
2576-452: The western end of the Melbourne central business district . Later the League would also argue that a portion of the income from the sale of Waverley would provide further finance for the development of AFL football as a national code in Australia. The last official VFL game was played in 1999 between Hawthorn and Sydney in front of a sell-out crowd of 72,130. After the decision to close
2632-472: Was as a neutral venue and used by all Victorian -based Victorian Football League/Australian Football League clubs. During the 1990s it became the home ground of both the Hawthorn and St Kilda football clubs. It ceased to be used for AFL games from the 2000 season following the opening of Docklands Stadium . It is currently used as a training venue by Hawthorn. The main grandstand and oval are listed on
2688-523: Was chosen because it was believed that, with the effects of urban sprawl and the proposed building of the South-Eastern (later called Monash ) freeway, the area would become the demographic centre of Melbourne . The VFL lobbied the state government to construct a rail connection to the stadium, but that never occurred. The push for rail to allow transportation to the stadium was still in existence in early to mid 1980s The original plans were for
2744-614: Was first held in 1979–80 and was contested every season until 2007–08. It has since been held only twice since 2007–08, and ODI cricket has since been played as bilateral ODI series against a single touring opponent. The concept of a three-team international series known as a 'tri-series' in cricket originated with the World Series Cricket program sponsored by Kerry Packer . Packer was keen to exploit what he saw as strong interest in ODI cricket, and staged long tri-series amongst teams from Australia, West Indies, and The Rest of
2800-414: Was lowered to a depth of 27 feet (8.2 metres) from the surrounding area. The spoil was used to form the banks for some sections of the stadium. The foundations of the K.G. Luke stand were laid in 1969 and more than 12 miles (19 kilometres) of concrete terracing was laid around the ground. On 18 April 1970, Fitzroy and Geelong played the first game at Waverley Park, in front of a crowd of 25,887. However,

In 2000, AFL pre-season cup matches were played at the venue, and Victorian Football League games also took place there, including finals and the grand final. Melbourne's Eastern Football League also played division 1 and division 2 Grand Finals at

When the first three days of the third Test were washed out officials decided to abandon the match and, instead, play a one-off one day game consisting of 40 eight-ball overs per side. Australia won the game by 5 wickets. ODIs were played in white-coloured kits with a red-coloured ball. In the late 1970s, Kerry Packer established
2968-402: Was reduced to a field of weeds. In mid-2002, Victorian MP Mary Delahunty called on the AFL to mow the dilapidated stadium, as it remained under their control until the plans for the site by housing developer Mirvac (who brought the land off the AFL in late 2001) were approved. In December 2001, the ground and surrounds were sold by the AFL to Australian property development company Mirvac for
3024-577: Was rejected. The International Cricket Council (ICC) determines which teams have ODI status (meaning that any match played between two such teams under standard one-day rules is classified as an ODI). The twelve Test-playing nations (which are also the twelve full members of the ICC) have permanent ODI status. The nations are listed below with the date of each nation's ODI debut after gaining full ODI status shown in brackets (Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Ireland, and Afghanistan were ICC associate members at
3080-469: Was serviced by the Monash Freeway , it was only easily accessible by car, as successive governments had failed to provide adequate public transport to the venue. The stadium's car park was large enough to service its crowds, but the access roads were incapable of dispersing them, and long delays for driving spectators were common. Spectators felt distanced from the game in the huge arena, and seating
3136-468: Was set at just over 100,000 patrons, later reduced to 72,000. In 1965 construction started. In 1970, the first game was played, between Geelong and Fitzroy. Roads not upgraded and rail line never built. The previous government of 17 years wasn't interested in VFL Park. The playing surface, being 200 metres long and 160 metres wide, was the biggest in the league. That caused some controversy, and
