"I think Adelaide did a very smart thing in establishing themselves as the day-night Test match, and I would have thought that would be ideal for Adelaide, rather than trying to battle and take that Test match. "I mean, what can you do about the weather other than build a bloody stadium with a roof on it? And who's going to build that? They're not going to build it in Adelaide. OK, they're not going to have as much rain. They're certainly not going to build it in Sydney."It scrapped plans for an $800 million upgrade of Stadium Australia in 2020, before binning a $250 million pledge to invest in Sydney's suburban grounds in 2022.
