| Adelaide Oval |
| The Adelaide Oval is considered by many as the most picturesque cricket ground in the world. Situated in the South Australian city of Adelaide, the ground is one of the countries top cricketing venues. The Adelaide Oval had to face some problems in its early days in 1873. While the off field controversies included clashes with locals, the on field problems were restricted to the badly laid pitch that attracted criticism from all corners of the world. But with the time the controversies seemed to die down. However, the ground has always been associated with controversy and the highlight had to be the third test of the Bodyline series, when the disputes reached an all time high after several Australian players were grievously injured. Thankfully, with time the pitch improved and the controversies no longer seem to haunt the ground. The Adelaide Oval is in the shape of a perfect oval and thus the name. It makes for great cricket with sixes and other big shots straight down the ground being a rarity and sixes square of the wicket being seen more frequently. The ground also hosts some other sporting events including rugby tests and Australian Rules football matches. The ground is also a popular venue for large concerts. livescore.warofcricket.com provides information on the Adelaide Oval and other famous grounds in Australia. |
