Grounds for an ATG series

[OverratedSanity]

You've got me there, but Kolkata only slightly more tolerable anyway.

 

[Athlai]

Earth (quake) - Hagley Oval
Fire (alarm) - Dunedin University Oval
Wind (y as ****) - Basin Reserve
Water (clogged due to a lack of drainage) - McLean Park
Heart ( <3 ) - Pukekura Park

Eden Gardens is massively overrated because it has a cool name and hosted arguably the greatest test ever. Chennai and Mohali are way better choices for an Indian test ground. Generally better pitches, and have had many more memorable games.

Mohali only had that one good Test against Australia in 2010. The matches are usually played in front of empty stands there.

Lord's & MCG are the obvious ones. + at least one of the big ones from India because, well, 87% of the world's cricket fans are Indian and they'd probably be paying for the series in the first place . . .

The rest are all a toss up really. It would be unfair to use another English or Aus ground when you already have Lord's & MCG, even if they'd deserve it. So to pick one from each country:

MCG
Lord's
Chennai (so Hb can watch)
Wanderers
Sabina Park (have to give one to WI even if the grounds aren't great cause they got some ATG players)

Can't really justify giving NZ, Zim or Ban a game when they mightn't have any players in the game and they don't really have any great venues anyway. Can't go to Pakistan for safety reasons.

Spectators falling through the stand - Chester-le-Street.

Too risky as players may end up getting caught up in one of the numerous fights going on after a night out

Homosexuals are some of the safest people here because of inebriated Durham players.

Lords' - tradition

MCG - scale

Barbados - pace

Capetown - bounce

Kolkata - spin

Oval - batting, and traditionally the last test

Quite tough to have Lords as first test and Oval as last test since both have to be scheduled in June.

The most conventional order For a five test series is Trent bridge, Lord's, Old Trafford, Leeds,The Oval.

Have to play a game here:

Players can order things online and it could get delivered while they play

Some decent comments on Cricinfo as well..

This pitch is quite literally a "Road"

A glorious drive through the covers
