EnterTheVoid Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Transparent, if you get a chance to watch a test match LIVE, go for it man, its one of crickets best experiences. Once you watch a test match live, you really don't feel like watching it on TV, well, for me at least.

Once you watch a test match live, you really don't feel like watching it on TV, well, for me at least. ++ watching a test match live in stadium is the best experience as a cricket fan. Choose he right match eg. when India plays Australia or South Africa or Pakistan. Not Slanka West indies which will bore you to death. my best experiences were 1997 against Aus, 1999 against Pak, 2001 against Aus, all at Chennai. After these I've become an ardent test match fan who makes it a point to take 3 days off from college/work (remaining two days are weekend holidays anyways) to watch all 5 days of a test match whenever it happens in my city. one day I hope to visit stadiums across India for test matches, like the Barmy Army And your point on sitting on the top tiers for best view is very true. lot of first timers at stadiums immediately run to the front upon entering the arena to see the players closer. but the best view is when you get as high as possible above the ground level.

Yep, agree with everything. I'd like to watch a test match in every major cricket playing country. I watched quite a few matches in Australia, next, I'd like to watch some in New Zealand. I'd like to time my visit to India for a test series.
EnterTheVoid Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Here are some more pictures I took at the WACA last year. Indian grounds should have some of the open grass seating areas.
jibranpatel15 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 grounds are all very good these days when its sold out no empty ground looks good
Manny_Pacquiao Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 new wankhede looks EXCELLENT. is it being built by a private company, i.e. larsen or DLF? it has that MCG style look.
Manny_Pacquiao Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 then again, the charm of the old wankhede was the tight, packed crowds close to the field, which could generate huge noise and get under the skin of opposition players. dont think we will get that here...
KXIP001 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 wowww are these Indian stadiums unbelievable , amazing, they got completely changed :omg:
Dinx - the Jinx Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 new wankhede looks EXCELLENT. is it being built by a private company, i.e. larsen or DLF? it has that MCG style look. wankhade looks great. hope they play all their IPL matches here. since the roof is very much high above the stands, will it provide enough shelter to spectators against sun and when it rains? couple of weeks back I went to mumbai. tried to pay a visit to the wankhade. but i couldnt manage to sneak in the way i used to do in MAC or Chinnaswamy. All I could muster was this.
Dinx - the Jinx Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 here are a few pictures I took when I went to the stadium in Hyderabad.
Manny_Pacquiao Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 wow Dinx, these are great pictures. thanks for sharing!! i'm gonna update post 1 with your pics do you have any of the new MAC ?
