| Bourda Georgetown |
| Being one of the oldest grounds in the Caribbean accrues it own share of charms and awe- something a visit to Bourda will surely attest. Bourda has awesome gigantic wooden pavilions and a famous Ladies Stand. The entire ground is surrounded by a moat. It is the only ground in the world that is below the sea level. Bourda was carved out of the silent sea in 1884 and it staged its first test match in 1930. Bourda is one of the largest grounds in the Caribbean and has the seating capacity for 22,000 spectators. Bourda spectators have brought infamy to the ground owing to their frequent pitch invasions and minor riots caused by them. The ugly episode during the 1979 World Series Cup in which the security of the players looked deeply threatened by the raiding mob have been permanently etched as a blot against Bourda. Bourda has been left out of the list of grounds hosting the 2007 World Cup. Newer and better-designed grounds have deprived it of partaking of the euphoria. livescore.warofcricket.com provides information on Bourda Georgetown and other Grounds around the World. |
