Spot on Youngster, Albrecht oval is magnificent to play especially a week after the rains, the greenery of the Centralian desert agaisnt the red background of the Western McDonald ranges is just a sensational view.
Who did you play for up in Alice?
Used to love keeping at the Northern end lookng up at those ranges.
Albrecht is good but for a saltwater man like myself the best place I've played cricket is Kahlin oval Darwin home of the Mighty Darwin Eagles
Standing at the Temira Cres end you look back over the Cullen Bay Marina, 20 years ago 30 m from Deep Mid On boundary was the beach. Between the boundary was a row of casuarina and palm trees.
Nothing better than watching the sun go down over the marina in the afternoon session at eh end of teh day we bring out the deck chairs onto the ground (deep mid wicket) and have a few quiet ones in the twilight whilst holding the fines session.....
If you don't believe me check out teh photos in the link.....
