Most beautiful cricket grounds in the world

[skilts]

As far as international grounds go - Queenstown and Dharamshala. Newlands and Galle are pretty good too. In Australia, Bellerive.


This is my favourite ground to actually watch the game at. Spent a number of memorable days their in the '90s, sitting under a tree with a picnic watching the Bradman XI play touring sides.

It certainly is a blissful place to watch cricket. Also, I cannot recommend highly enough a visit to their cricket museum. I spent a whole day there and is wasn't long enough.

Bowral itself is a beautiful town, unlike most others in NSW. The architecture, dating back to Victorian times onwards, provides a contrast to the hotchpotch which is seen in most other country towns or cities in that state.

I hate being one of "those" people who lament any form of development (& think it improved Adelaide Oval immensely), but from a visual perspective I liked Bellerive much more pre-upgrade. Am sure it's much better for patrons (& for footy in winter) though.

Yeah, it's my local, but Lilac Hill's spot on a bend in the Swan River, with the vineyards of the Swan Valley starting across the road is a beautiful spot. Took the kids there for a WBBL game last year and when their minds were wandering, we just sat with our feet in the water watching the world go by. Magic.

Is the Dome in Australia the only place where International cricket has been played indoors?

I think some exhibition games may have been played in the USA.

 

[WeMissYouMarkCoughlan]

Why haven’t they played more Internationals at Etihad Stadium in Melbourne since the Super Series?

Newlands is definitely the most beautiful with that backdrop.

I like Dunedin too, charming ground.

Our best looking grounds IMO are Sydney and Adelaide.

I'm fairly sure exhibition games have been played under the roof in Toronto. There may have been an India or Pakistan "home" ODI there.
edit: Nope, just a West Indies v WorldXI in 1989, no official internationals.

Off topic, but I always thought those Aust vs South Africa games were intended to be fixed.

Sponsored by an Indian software company, SA to be captained by Cronje and his mates - forget who they were - also expected to be in the team.

And then Cronje gets caught a couple of months before it and it just goes ahead uneventfully...

I'm inclined to view a lot of ODI cricket around the turn of the century in the same way I view the IPL now.

Another vote for Dharamshala
