Australia’s Test Record at Melbourne Cricket Ground

Everyone is gearing up for the prestigious MCG Test, as both India and Australia will look to make a mark a strong hold in the BGT series. But what is the host's record at this ground?

With India and Australia, the top two cricketing nations, gearing up for a thrilling Boxing Day Test clash, it is expected to be a big one. In recent times, Australia’s record at the MCG has faced a rough patch, particularly against India, which is making this encounter even more intriguing. While the MCG has traditionally been a favorite hunting ground for Australia, it will be interesting to see how the upcoming Test comes, especially with the many changes made for this match. There will be no Josh Hazlewood, and Scott Boland is back in the mix, with Sam Kontas set to make his debut.

As mentioned, Australia has a strong record at this stadium, but their recent performances against India at the MCG have not been as dominant. Let’s see what their overall record says at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Australia Test Record at MCG

If we look at Australia’s record at the MCG, it looks solid, with 116 Test matches in total. The first Test was played in 1877 against England. Out of these 116 games, Australia has won 67, lost 32, and drawn 17.

Now, here’s an important point: in recent times, over the last 14 years (since 2010), Australia has lost only 3 Test matches. Of these three losses, two came against India, one in 2018 under Virat Kohli’s captaincy and the other in 2020 under Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy.
