Best Ovals, Adelaide #2, Salisbury Oval, Kensington's 2 pitches, Cain reserve, Hectorvile oval, Goodwood oval's. Woodville oval and St. Claire, all for personal reasons obvioulsy.


bit of cooch growing on it and the oval is tiny, definately not a good oval.


Your kidding me, I hit a few cars driving along Churchill road and made 87 not out that day, took 6/14 the week later there. Tell me it hasn't been good to me?


Under 16 Reds or Whites ???????


Whites. Sticking to my glory days!

For me probably Adelaide Oval, The Waca and The SCG have always been kind to me. Trent Bridge has nice change rooms as well. They would be my top four.
There once was a bloke named Fracka,
Scored runs since he was a young tacka,
But alas not anymore,
his shot selection's been poor,
and now they call him QUACKA!!

Ahem, North Pines. The only reason why Wasleys doesn't get condemned is because they exec. couldn't be bothered travelling out there and the opposition wouldn't complain about playing them.

I've heard they've put some money into it but last time I played there the square was basically mud and the bowlers run ups sand.

Best = Parkinson, Woodville, University.


I take it you're a batsman.


Horse, in past years would have agreed, poor decisions made re changing grass resulted in 3 horrific years at Perti, but I can announce, Perti is back, outfield a bit bouncy at moment, but come middle November will be amongst best in comp and grass everywhere on the wickets, you will be surprised. AND Adelaide No. 2 easily best, good for all, batters, bowlers, keepers, fielders, spectators, golfers, etc. etc.

Kings Reserve was a fair road.
The crazy old bastard that lived in the house at cow corner used to get a bit snakey as well. If we got to close to his joint during warm ups he'd threaten to shoot us. :lol:

Haha :lol: Use to have to go fetch balls out from that house at training. Never knew anyone lived there though! Weirdest spot for a house. I had completely forgotten about it, must have been bulldozed many years ago!

Best grounds Uni #1, Parkinson Oval, Adel #2, Henley High.
Worst grounds Pertaringa/Balkana Ovals, Christies Beach High, Windsor Gardens VC.

Absolutely the worst cricket ground I have ever had the misfortune to play on by a long way. Eastern Park second. That said, Brahma Lodge is in the worst condition I have seen it at the moment so hopefully that improves.

The Gerard Oval was a shocker, more prickles than grass plus they would give us a smashing everytime we played there.The Browns Well trip was always a blinder,used to finish early then sit down and have a session with the Brown's Well boys, always a very long days :lol:
