What's been the toughest away ground in the history of test cricket?

[doesitmatter]

Grounds in SA have provided consistently even contests between bat and ball..Atleast for SC teams i would say SA is a tough tour taking any ground into consideration particularly the Wanderers..

If a ground is intimidating for the opposing team you cannot look beyond Eden Gardens i think..

For the opposing team in the 90s ,summer heat, 100K crowd , deafening sound you cannot get a tougher situation to concentrate..

Haha, surely he's being facetious? England's win in 2009 was the first against the Aussies at the ground for 75 years.

Delhi, imo. India hasn't lost since 1987 here.

8 wins out of the last 9, 1 Draw. Even the ODI record at Delhi is pretty good at the Kotla.

And they recently decided to Import Soil from Newzealand to make a new pitch.


India's record at each ground since 1990 -

Mumbai along with Bangalore have the worst record.

Key part of the sentence is the two words after the one you'd bolded.

South Africa's record at Centurion and Cape Town since the mid 90's is pretty good too.

I think that Javed Miandad was never given out lbw in the 35 years or so he played at National Stadium either. Coincidence? ;-)

Is that a fact ? In all forms of the game ?
