Cricket Grounds on Google Maps
I've been having some fun tracking down cricket grounds on Google maps. The list is far from complete (please feel free to add a link for your favorite ground in the comments), and the quality of the satellite photos varies from excellent to, uh, abstract.
In Australia:
The SCG in Sydney
The MCG in Melbourne
The Adelaide Oval
The WACA in Perth
The Gabba in Brisbane
In England:
Lords, in St. John's Wood in London
The Oval - near London
Sophia Gardens (Cardiff)
Old Trafford, in Manchester
Google has a lousy picture of Trent Bridge, in Nottingham
And only half a picture of
the Rose Bowl, in Southampton
In India:
I was pleasantly surprised that Google had a nice picture of Wankhede Stadium, in Mumbai Check out all the cricket pitches in the neighborhood.
Unfortunately, their picture of the world's largest cricket ground,
Eden Gardens, in Kolkata was disappointing.
In South Africa:
The lovely Newlands ground, in Cape Town
In France:
Since I live near Paris, I had to include this amazing satellite photo of this cricket pitch in the city of Paris, in Bois de Vincennes.
Today I went there and saw this, among other things.
Correction: I had said Bois de Vincennes was the only cricket pitch in Paris, but there is a second one, Bagatelle in Bois de Boulogne.
