THE OVAL CRICKET GROUND, KENNINGTON, ENGLAND

THE OVAL CRICKET GROUND (KENNINGTON)

The Oval in Kennington, England is a venue full of sports history, including hosting English soil’s first test match, a game that WG Grace took a historic century in England’s 1880 victory against Australia. The Oval is known as the birthplace of the Ashes legend. The great Sir Donald Bradman played his last test innings.

English has a tradition to host the last test match of a series or the whole season in Oval. Kennington Oval cricket ground holds the record of most test match hosting. This stadium was established in 1845 and in 1880, England and Australia played first test match here. The stadium can accomodate 25500 visitors at once. Construction work is going on to increase capacity. Surrey County Cricket Club owns the stadium.

THE OVAL CRICKET GROUND (KENNINGTON) Pitch Report

History says that this field gifts batsmen a lot. Batsmen can easily put a huge score in scoreboard. Along with England’s 903 and Australia’s 701, there are a lot of high team totals in Oval ground. We can say, the Oval never disappoint batsmen.

But this ground is not always batting friendly. Bowlers also dominated the ground and made batting team to score low. As England has an unpredictable weather condition, it cannot be said who may dominate in match, batting team or bowling team. Normally in test or ODI matches, teams want to bat first.

Test Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:

In the first innings, the pitch is ideal for batsmen, and thus the team who wins the toss in the Kennington Oval Cricket ground typically chooses to bat for a high score. The fast bowlers do not get much support. But the previous day’s decay improves the situation in third and fourth innings. Spin bowlers start achieving sharp turns and batsmen begin to struggle.

If there are no county games on the ground for several months, the surface may sprout a bit of grass to support pacers. The pitch is reputed to be fastest track. But county games are always played in Kennington, so pitch surface is always lacks of grass.
