EnterTheVoid Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Stadiums ALWAYS look bigger on T.V. than they do LIVE. For instance, I took this picture in PERTH (WACA) last year - the fast, bouncy WACA. People would be surprised at how small it is if they saw it in REAL LIFE. Also its a small stadium, capable of holding only about 20, 000 odd, the same as a indoor concert arena. Same story for the MCG, it looks a LOT more intimidating if you watch a test match there. Its quite scary if you sit in the upper, upper areas ..
Manny_Pacquiao Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 nice picture. perth looks small even in the pictures. waiting to see what the new wankhede will look like. hopefully they built the stands really close to the field
EnterTheVoid Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 nice picture. perth looks small even in the pictures. waiting to see what the new wankhede will look like. hopefully they built the stands really close to the field Not just Perth, but almost all stadia in Australia. Full house and its a diff story. Melbourne: http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=254669 Adelaide: http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=251093
Serani Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Really dont like the Ahmedabad stadium, probably because it always seems to be empty.
Manny_Pacquiao Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 Really dont like the Ahmedabad stadium' date=' probably because it always seems to be empty.[/quote'] yeah, the test matches here are pretty depressing, no one is around to watch limited overs are a different story. the quarterfinal is being held here, should be nice
Manny_Pacquiao Posted February 18, 2011 Author Posted February 18, 2011 Same story for the MCG, it looks a LOT more intimidating if you watch a test match there. Its quite scary if you sit in the upper, upper areas .. can u even see anything when u are in the upper stands ?
EnterTheVoid Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 can u even see anything when u are in the upper stands ? Yea, you may not be able to make out the players' faces but the upper seating is on the best places to watch the match as you get a birds eye view of the whole stadium. Even if you sit in the lower stands or right by the boundary rope, you still may not be able to see the players faces ---- not talking about fielders on the boundary edge --- unless you take in binoculars or an expensive camera with large zoom.
Zelig Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 MAC is much more open aka most of the Aussie grounds. Should assist swing bowlers more with the beach nearby:dance:
Desi Cartman Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 can u even see anything when u are in the upper stands ? I saw Aus Vs SAF from the upper stands few years ago . Its amazing view .. there are screens for the replays anyway. The only issue was the temprature, it gets quite cold after dark especially if its windy and I am talking about summers , dont know how people watch AFL in peak winters from those stands

Cricketics Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Scott Styris recently on his twitter praised Nagpur stadium. He was like "it's pretty damn big" and stuff. I hope Nagpur sticks to hosting odi's for a while..
Jersey #10 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I too one day will get a chance to watch a cricket match live in the stadium! :(( Dreams do come true right?
gaurav92 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Ticz Dilli ka stadia itna kharaab kyu hain ? :((
Cricketics Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Ticz Dilli ka stadia itna kharaab kyu hain ? :(( Abey kharaab nahi hai, ekdam top class hai. It's one of the oldest stadiums, still doesn't look that bad, still has about 45,000 seating, unlike other newly built ones with same amount capacity. It's like some FOB Indian saying to folks in U.S "Malls in India are class perhaps much better than the ones here." Offcourse, the once in India would seem really good because they have been just built couple of years back, unlike the once here which are being run from past 15-30 years.
Cricketics Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I too one day will get a chance to watch a cricket match live in the stadium! :(( Dreams do come true right? Man one day, I will tour with Indian team wherever they go. I know it will happen. Jus tkeep faith.

I went for the Boxing Day Test and it was really cold, and this was right in the middle of the Australian summer ! This was Day 1 when the match was interrupted by rain. Also, sitting in the upper seats --- I got Vertigo. It can be a little unsettling watching from that height.
Zelig Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 u mean the buckingham canal? MAC is more spacious than what it was, is what they say. I went to an IPL match, I've never been there before the renovation. Don't shoot the messenger :idunno:
Jersey #10 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Man one day' date=' I will tour with Indian team wherever they go. I know it will happen. Jus tkeep faith.[/quote'] Let's do it! From US east coast DC area to wherever team India goes :--D
