Have a good day at the cricket but toe Cricket Australia's line

Here are Cricket Australia's Conditions of Entry to venues for this season.

I've highlighted a few which caught my eye (and made me wonder whether anyone would be able to comply with all the restrictions).

owner or hirer, the “Venue”) for matches forming part of Cricket Australia’s 2006-07
