    Ive always loved the SCG and think the Adelaide Oval is a lovely ground. Cape Town does take your breath away mind.

    Perth always looks a shit tip.

    Always fancied one of the SA or NZ grounds as I like the idea of sitting on a hill and watching the cricket, think you can also still do this at Adelaide?

    Shame a lot of the Windies grounds have been redeveloped as they had some real character which seems to have been lost now.

    Yes, Adelaide and Perth.

    Beefy73 and Dumpling off here were luck enough to get a chance to visit the Antigua Recreation Ground in 2009 after the sand farce in the new ground (Poledancer got them in the party stand obv!). That must have been a great one to do.

    Been to a fair few but the favourites have to be Newlands, The ARG amd the Basin Reserve in Wellington.

    Have a bit of a soft spot for Mirpur in Bangladesh as well.

    Most hated is Lords, best UK ground is the Oval

    This.

    MCG, Lords.

    Would love to go to South Africa, they seem to have a few decent ones too.

    Being at the ARG in 2009 was awesome, on the final day when England where attempting (and failing!!) to get the final wicket we were on the top deck of the double decker stand and you could feel it rocking - it was only later that we found out that the stand was supposed to have been condemned!!

    Vote here for MCG...what a place, what an atmosphere !
    Compares to my first visit to Wembley in 1967 for sheer awe inspiring magnificence.
