@Gusman Maybe, but it still had a name change because the ACB wanted $$$$$$$

@SW-User That is the same for every sport.
Perth's new stadium is called Optus Oval. Money rules everything.

@Gusman But, it should never be at the hands of a stupid management group like the ACB.

Sheffield Shield, when did the name change back ?

Gusman · 61-69, M

@SW-User 2008/09 season
It was always the Sheffield Shield until 1999 when a 10 year Sponsorship with Natural Foods. They decided to call it the Pura Cup.
