If ever there was an advertisement to keep the New Year's Test in Sydney it came in the sea of pink that washed over the SCG on day three against Pakistan.

Some 32,061 fans were in the stadium by lunch on Jane McGrath Day, the centrepiece of the McGrath Foundation's Pink Test, which is now in its 16th year.
