Sean Bradley Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 A very State of the art stadium, hope the pitch is not a dust Bowl and offers good exciting cricket for 10 days with a bit for everyone from batters , pacers, spinners, ala Mohali which is the best pitch in India in my opinion.

Should make Indian supports skip a heartbeat. 6 mm of live grass, extra lacquer on pink ball, and batting at twilight against Anderson and Jofra - What could go wrong? will be cut off closer to the toss.

Been a while since I watched a test live from the stands. Time to make up for the gap in the next couple of weeks. Hoping to see exciting cricket and not dull boring flat pitches Be safe also. Best of luck!
Vilander Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 giant monotonous structure.. much like that statue Bigg Brother 1

Vilander Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 very orange distinct Gujrat color theme monotonous structure. A good modern stadium should use natural structurers around it, not go for max number of seats. look at this wank-de Wankhede_Stadium_Popular_in_India.jpg (3000×1996) wayanaad k-w.jpg (1171×439) (keralacricketassociation.com)
Tibarn Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Looks like a great place to revive gladiator battles Ravi_Shastri and Indwin 2

People drinking in cars and at homes. I guess five-star hotels get permits automatically. No dry-days in the state of MaGa!
Mariyam Posted February 21, 2021 Posted February 21, 2021 Strange that the OP's benchmark is Brabourne. Has to be the worst stadium I've been to. And by quite a distance. To begin with, Brabourne isn't even the best stadium in that pincode. When the Wankhede was getting rebuilt for the 2011 WC, Brabourne hosted all of 's home games. The ticket counter was inside the stadium. Basically, you are already inside the complex, next to the pavilion, and can just scoot away anywhere w/o collecting the ticket you've booked (or not booked). Also, for most of the stands have no seats/seat numbers and are concrete slabs. Makes for very uncomfortable seating. Especially for the 4pm games. Its essentially a free for all. Just sit where ever. The stadium is also home to a fair number of strays. CCI's management is shambolic. The stadium parking is not attended to and no one ( except me! ) parked at the designated spot. My car only got the opportunity to leave the stadium 2 hours ( and 20 scratches) after the end of the match. I've attended a wedding and a concert at Brabourne, and the experience was far more pleasant. Not sure what Brabourne experience the OP has bench-concrete slab marked the new Motera to?

Even South Mumbai elites cannot get in there no matter what amount they flash. My best buddy's dad was a former very senior bureaucrat in the Maharashtra Govt. Stayed directly opposite CCI in a building full of very senior IAS and IPS officers. I've seen every nook and corner of CCI. Overall it is super-lavish compared to all other stadiums I've seen -and I've seen alot. Only Mohali came close in terms of players and members facilities Under_Score 1
