Uni #1
Uni #2. If you're in about 4pm and have been in a while then it is 'yum-yum' time.

Parkinson goes alright although the wicket can be a bit up and down.

Adelaide Oval #2 is very pleasant aswell.

1980 Tassie Medalist wrote: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.....

Ahh I miss those days in Darwin.


How long ago did you play for Darwin CC? Used to live in Darwin and knew a number of people who played with Darwin

Obviously a bowler Razor :lol:
My best batting performances have come on Wistow Hill (No Surprises there :lol: ) Batsmans Paradise after christmas with the desolate outfield.
Cant beat Wistow Hill for the Best Panoramic view tho - Looking down towards the Lower and Lower and Lower lakes. :(

would have to say marion oval ............... not because of the oval or the pitch but because as soon as your out there is TAB and pokie facilities makes getting out that little bit less upsetting
