[laksh_01]

Hi People, We discuss a lot about Teams, Players, tournaments & Rankings... For a change lets discuss about an intresting rare topic... Which is the best Test Ground? Here are few choosen test grounds from all the test playing Nations... Pls rate the best!!!

 

[PhoenixFire]

No Headingley, how dire is that?

 

[Richard]

Why no Green Park, Kanpur? My fave.

Of those listed, would have to go Lord's, obviously.

BTW... why multiple-choice? Smith's gonna have a field-day again.

You should be ashamed of yourself voting for that excuse for a cricket ground that is Eden Park.

What I want to know is what constituates as the "best" ground?. Facilities, Atmosphere, playing space etc...

 

[Richard]

Picturesqueness IMO. That's why I like Green Park so.

Not that its playing, practice and viewing facilities are poor, at all.

 

[Pup Clarke]

I'm not sure where Green Park is...

 

[funnygirl]

MCG ,my favourite . Huge ground .Great atmosphere .cheerful crowd ( Thats the case with every ground in Aus though).

 

[Richard]

Green Park, Kanpur

Doh

Don't really feel qualified to vote when I've only been to the two London grounds. Pleased to see Lord's isn't just running away with it though - and that's not anti-Middlesex bias, I just get annoyed at the way they push their 'home of cricket' stuff at you all over the ground.

Wheres the Basin Reserve!

Ain't none prettier than Newlands.

I was going to vote for an Australian ground and five years ago I would have. But going to the cricket at the Gabba has changed so much over the last couple of years that they have sucked the fun out of a day at the cricket. No noise allowed,but you have to sit through ear-splitting advertisements all day,no waves,no smoking,no barracking,no musical instruments,no banners,no 'hill',crammed into plastic seats with no knee room, you can't bring your own food or drinks (you have to buy the sponsors overpriced and rubbish products). It's like being back in school again. You can't even bring in your own drink trays, and submit to being 'patted down' before entry.
Does this go on in other countries Test venues? I cannot comment on any other grounds as I've only been to England and could not get a ticket for a match for love nor money,loved the Lords tour though.

 

[Perm]

Lords, it's the home of cricket.

 

[biased indian]

[laksh_01]

Am sorry As chennai & other grounds come as second rated grounds comapred to the ones in here I have to edit them or the list will be upto 50 grounds...
