1978 – Let There Be Light!
Sydney got its first taste of nighttime Cricket when a crowd of 44,000+ attended the World Series Cricket game between the Australians and the West Indies in a day/night clash at the SCG.
The game was in such high-demand with the Sydney fans that long lines stretched out of the SCG as far as the eye could see resulting in World Series Cricket owner Kerry Packer demanding the gates be thrown open to allow everyone in.

Ian Davis scored the match high 48 not out for the Australians.
