25.01.2022 Congratulations to WA on defeating Victoria for their first win of the season. Shaun Marshs man of the match performance with 214 in the first innings was brilliant.

24.01.2022 WE DID IT! With Perth not hosting an test this summer, its now highly likely that will host Afghanistan at the home of WA Cricket, the #WACA Ground. We started in January 2019, and have always had the view that matches that wont exceed the WACA Grounds capacity should be held at the WACA.... We couldnt have done it without your support - thank you! Please invite your friends to like this page so future generations can continue to watch top-level cricket at the WACA. #MAKETHEWACAGREATAGAIN

24.01.2022 We passionately believe the #WACA needs to be redeveloped & it should hold all matches where the demand doesnt exceed the grounds capacity of 24,500. INVITE YOUR FRIENDS & SHARE THIS POST. Together, lets #MAKETHEWACAGREATAGAIN.

24.01.2022 Congratulations to WA on winning our 14th One Day title. Shaun Marsh led the way with an unbeaten 101 off just 134 deliveries. Now to end our elusive #SheffieldShield drought!... #WestisBest #QLDvWA #MarshCup

23.01.2022 David Boon is the third-highest Test run scorer at the WACA, making 846 runs in his 11 tests at the venue at an average of 49.76. He scored two centuries, including a double-ton. What country did Boony score his 200 against?... #MaketheWACAgreatagain

23.01.2022 Congratulations to the five West Australians named in the World Cup squad

22.01.2022 20 years ago today West Coast played their final match at the WACA Ground. Who remembers watching footy at the WACA?

22.01.2022 Remember the Perth Glory at the #WACA? The Glory defeated Adelaide City 2-1 in an Elimination Final in 1998/99 to progress to the next leg of the finals. Bobby Despotovski scores the matched-winner 22 seconds into extra time.... #OneGlory #NSL #ALeague #AustralianFootball #AustralianSoccer

22.01.2022 The world’s greatest Wicketkeeper-Batsman Adam Gilchrist scored 603 Test runs, including two centuries, in his nine tests at the WACA Ground. He averaged 60 with the bat in tests at his home ground.

21.01.2022 Some terrific football memories were made at the #WACA, but who remembers Scott Cummings kicking 14 goals against Adelaide Football Club in 2000? It was one of West Coasts shining lights of the year in an otherwise disappointing season, as they thumped the Crows 29.13.187 to 10.13.73. Yes, Cummings kicked more goals than Adelaide.... #ScottCummings #FootyattheWACA #MAKETHEWACAGREATAGAGAIN

20.01.2022 Who remembers the #WACAs first Test? hosted on 11 December 1970 for the first ever Test at the ground. #BillLawry won the toss & sent in to . Despite Greg Chappell and Ian Redpath making tons, the match was a draw.... The Test led to the Inverarity Stand being built, which holds 2,800 seats, and is still standing today. It was originally named the Test Stand, and was renamed after former WA captain John Inverarity, in 1985. #MAKETHEWACAGREATAGAIN

15.01.2022 Happy Straya Day! PLEASE SHARE & INVITE YOUR FRIENDS

15.01.2022 While the WACA has said the #WACAGround will continue to host Test matches after its proposed redevelopment, we believe the ground’s capacity should be closer to 18,000 people, not 10,000. The venue needs a winter tenant, and a WAFL club returning to the ground could help ensure the ground’s sustainability.

15.01.2022 17 years ago today, Matthew Hayden scored 380 at the #WACA Ground. Who remembers this remarkable knock?

15.01.2022 The #WACA was a sellout for most of the Perth Scorchers matches during the first 7 seasons of the #BBL. The final #BBL match at the ground was held on 25 January 2018, in front of over 22,000 people, with now Scorchers coach Adam Voges hitting the winning runs against Adelaide. #TheFurnance #BBL07 #Madetough #GetScorched #MAKETHEWACAGREATAGAIN

04.01.2022 Weve long believed where demand doesnt exceed the WACAs capacity (over 24,000) than the #WACAGround should host the Test. Hosting Afghanistan at the WACA is a no brainer. #MaketheWACAgreatagain
