If you could play at four grounds only?

[Craig]

The cricket genie has come true and your an international cricketer, but the catch is you can only get four grounds to play at, they can't be more then one in said country you picked (for example you could play at the MCG, but not the SCG).

For me:

Australia: The 'Gabba, well it is my nearest cricket ground.
England: Lords, 'nuff said.
South Africa: The Wanders or whatever ground it is called now since if they have sold in the name of the ground for the sake $$$$, but the one in Jo'burg. Purely because if atmosphere, if the crowd wants to give the players crap, well return serve back with bat or ball.
India: Eden Gardens, I reckon playing in India would be pretty cool, of course Jack McNamara (vic orthdox) would know about this...

South Africa - Centurion Park
Australia - MCG
Zimbabwe - Harare Sports Club
England - Taunton

Well it is it is awesome BUT it is smaller tan it used to be with those stupid rope boundaries.

 

[andruid]

England-Lords
Kenya-The Nairobi Club (it is pretty swank!!)
Australia-MCG
SA- Wanderers

Well, I've already played at the Kensington Oval.......just a pity it was hockey rather than cricket, and we got beaten 8-1 in front of huge and almost empty stands!

Seriously though, my list would be:

England -- Lord's. Obviously.
Sri Lanka -- Galle. The SSC may have the heritage, but Galle is simply beautiful.
West Indies -- Kensington Oval. Let's have a carnival!
Australia -- MCG. Because.

Eden Gardens just misses out, unfortunately.

The 'Gabba, Lords, Jamaica and Adelaide Oval.

 

[Matt79]

Australia: MCG - 90,000 people, oldest Test venue in Aus, plus my 'home' ground.
England: Lords - well its the home of cricket ain't it.
WI: Kensington Oval - would be nice, wouldn't it?
SA: The Bullring - just soaking up the love

Ahh...where do you go after playing at the great Bankstown Oval?

Port of Spain
Old Trafford
Jo-burg
Sharjah

 

[silentstriker]

England: Lords.
Australia: MCG.
SA:J'burg.
India:Karachi.

Haha.


England: Lords
Australia: Perth
India: Kolkata
New Zealand: Wellington

 

[Richard]

Hmm, ITSTL. Certainly would go for:
England: The Oval
and
South Africa: Newlands, Cape Town

But there'd be any number of other contenders from the rest... such as...
Australia: The MCG OR Adelaide Oval
India: Eden Gardens, Kolkata OR Green Park, Kanpur
Sri Lanka: Asgiriya Stadium, Kandy
New Zealand: Queenstown
West Indies: Kensington Oval, Bridgetown

And I really don't know which two I'd go for.

It's a known fact that it's every Melburnian kids dream to play at the MCG in front of a packed house (and kick the winning goal against Collingwood in a Grand Final )
