BEST STADIUM IN THE WORLD
Hello steemit family I share for that person who take some interest in cricket game . top most stadium in the world are following :-
A game of cricket cannot be played without a proper stadium. There are no international matches held on ‘maidans’ or playgrounds afterall. There are several factors that determine how excellent a stadium actually is. Whether in terms of lighting, crowd capacity, pitches, facilities, aerial view and so on. But there have been just a few which can be termed ‘excellent’ because any stadium can have a pitch or products such as a carpet to cover the pitch or a roller to remove the grass from it as well decent seating. Some of them though go much beyond the basics and have made a name for themselves in cricketing history. Here are those who have been able to do so.
- Ageas Bowl, Southampton
Not as old as Lord’s, but every bit as legendary, the Ageas Bowl (formerly the Rose Bowl) was built in 2001 and is the home of Hampshire County Cricket Club. Something of a newbie on the cricket circuit, the stadium has already begun creating a reputation for itself as a regular fixture on England’s white-ball schedule and host of the inaugural Test match against Sri Lanka in 2011.
2 . cricket ground of london , lords stadium
It has been the venue for some of the greatest matches in cricket history and has seen 4 World Cup Finals: (1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999).This is one venue every cricket fan wants to see at least once in their lifetime.
3 . cricket ground of cape town south Africa Newlands
Undoubtedly, one of the most beautiful grounds in the world. Newlands is what one can call ‘breathtaking’ with the view of the Table Mountain surrounding the stadium being magnificent. In sunshine, it looks as if one has landed in paradise to watch a game of cricket in relaxation as he sits down on one of the 25,000 white seats in the ground. While if cloudy, it becomes foggy but it remains a pretty view to the naked eye and the weather gets cooler, which makes it more fun to sit and watch the game.
Usually Test matches in Newlands happen during the New Year’s week, just as those at the Sydney Cricket Ground and they turn out to be the last for the South African summer. Yet, it was recent that Australia were bowled out for a paltry 47 in the second innings, which is their lowest total ever in Test cricket and South Africa went on to win a difficult game by a walloping 8 wicket margin. While South Africa also beat India by 5 wickets in the 2007 Test to win the 3 match series 2-1, despite being 0-1 down at the beginning
4 . The WACA, Perth (Australia) cricket ground of Australia Perth , The WACA
It has a capacity of 22,000, although it can be raised to 24,500 with the use of temporary stands. All those people present on the ground would be the luckiest enough to witness ‘real’ fast bowling. The WACA is the most renowned for the fact that it has always been the fastest pitch in the world, as the quality of the pitch alongside the sea breeze called as Fremantle Doctor also helps fast bowlers in bringing out swing, even if the wicket has flattened out. This means that batsmen can be caught off guard any time on such a pitch.
It is the home ground of Western Australia Warriors and more recently the finalists of the Big Bash League 2011-12, the Perth Scorchers. It is also the home ground of several top Australian cricketers from the old and contemporary eras such as Geoff Marsh, Dennis Lillee, Shaun Marsh, Adam Gilchrist and Michael Hussey.
5 . Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Melbourne
MCG is the largest cricket stadium in the world, just like Lords it has so much history starting with international test matches against England back in 19th Century and till the 1992 World Cup when Pakistan defeated England in the final to win their first World Cup
Melbourne cricket ground has so much history on its side with hosting the first ever International Test Matches between Australian and England and also the first ever ODI matches in 1971 and against between Aussies and English cricket team and on both occasions Aussies went on to win.
thanks to all my family
