The Last of the Big Five…
Our trip to the Gabba to see the one-day international between England and Australia at the best-named cricket ground in the world, now means that we have seen a match in all five main cricket grounds in Australia - the WACA in Perth, the 'G' in Melbourne, the SCG in Sydney, the Adelaide Oval and now the Gabba.
The Gabba was like a mini version of the MCG, which meant that again it didn’t feel like a cricket ground. There is no pavilion at the Gabba. The crowd spent most of the match throwing beach balls around and starting Mexican Waves, despite the fact that the match was finely poised for most of the time.
Obviously England lost again.
I think my favourite ground was the Adelaide Oval. The WACA had some charm too. Both the MCG and the Gabba are big, but fairly soulless, places.
