| The PDV Dome got its name from co-founder of
Cricket Web Cricket - Reuben Verghese senior. The name refers to
Prems Death Valley Dome, as was the name of one of the first
grade sides in CWLand. It has come to be a fast bowlers
paradise, in theory at least. The bouncy and quick surface and quick outfield make for thrilling cricket on most occasions, and a result on just about all occasions. |

Home of Cricket Web Red. |
| Location: 34 Malthus Junction, Nixonstown |
Capacity: 50,000 |
| One of the first grounds of Cricket Web and the home of CW Red, in the National Development League. The Oval, as it's known, is seen as the best batting pitch in the country. The pitch offers the batsmen even bounce and consistent pace throughout the match. The pitch does however offer assistance to the seamers early and a bit of turn to spinners late. One of the most even pitches in the country and for a long time the home of the FC game. | |

Home of Cricket Web Green. |
| The headquarters of CWBCC and the home of CW Green, this Edfield ground is arguably biggest turner out of all the grounds in Cricket Web. The pitch doesn’t turn as rapidly or as early as pitches in the sub continent, but by CW standards it is probably the biggest turner in country. Known as a track that slows down a lot as the match goes on, the ground is famous for memorable last innings chases in Test and FC cricket. | |

Home of Cricket Web Black. |
| The ground was named after Cricket Web’s premier spin bowler and former CW Black captain Neil Pickup. The ground was one of two new grounds built prior to Season 9 of the Development League. Perhaps one of the most bowling-friendly tracks in the league, particularly late on in the game when the ball turns square, though the Blacks have been known to exploit the lack of early movement to post huge totals here. Even with the lack of assistance to seamers at times, the ground has never been a graveyard for seamers, with consistent bounce throughout the game. | |

Home of Cricket Web Colts. |
Built of the outskirts of Goffmouth and over looking River Goff, the Fardin Qayyumi Cricket Centre, was the second new ground completed on the eve of Season 9. The ground was built in the memory of the one of most talented young cricketers to ever grace the shores of Cricket Web. Fardin ‘Bob’ Qayyumi never got the opportunity to play FC cricket before he tragically died in a car accident, at the tender age of 16. The young all rounder was seen as one of the most promising young cricket players in the country. He was known to have the defence of Rahul Dravid and control and guile of Daniel Vettori. The ground has turned into the home youth cricket in the country, with academy teams, Under 19s and 17s teams training there throughout the year. The ground is also the home of CW Colts, the newest team in the Development League. The pitch is seen as the best cricketing pitch in the country, offering even assistance to batsmen, pace bowlers and spinners. However, over the years the ground has become more of a seamer's pitch, with particular extra bounce for the quickest of bowlers. |
