		Cricket is a relatively leisurely game of great skill played outdoors--but not in the rain--in attractive surroundings.
		A cricket ground, or field, is larger than a baseball field and varies from an area of well-kept grass in a village to a ground surrounded by tiered seating and double-deck stands that can hold thousands of spectators in a metropolis.
		The best-kept area of a cricket field is the pitch, a stretch 10 feet (3.04 meters) wide between two wickets, which face each other 22 yards (20.12 meters) apart.

	Saint Lucia's National Cricket Ground ......... Becoming a Reality

		In terms of sports and more particularly cricket, Mangal says having an international ground would mean greater exposure for Saint Lucia as this National Cricket Ground is the second cricket specific facility in the Caribbean.

		Modern cricket is a team sport originating in England and popular mainly in areas that formerly made up the British Empire.
		The language of cricket is particularly idiosyncratic and tends to reflect the somewhat complicated and eccentric nature of the game itself.
		In the centre of the pitch is a length of grass, (usually 22 yards long), called 'the wicket'. At each end of the wicket are placed three sticks adjacent to each other in an upright position: these are the 'stumps'.

		Situated in Moore Park in the city's east, the Sydney Cricket Ground is one of the world's most famous cricketing venues.
		Its limited capacity is, in fact, essentially the result of the extension over recent years of seating to most parts of a stadium now devoid of its long famous hill and instead dominated by the Brewongle, Churchill, O'Reilly, Noble and Doug Walters Stands.
		Cricket has been played at the ground from as long ago as the 1848, then known as the Garrison Ground, but many other sports, predominantly football codes, have established a presence, to such an extent no less that a bike track actually ringed the playing surface between the 1890s and 1920s.

		The realisation that a cricket ground spends much of the time idle has prompted Lancashire to introduce other sources of income, the Old Trafford Lodge being one of the most successful.

		Well....I don't know what is the best ground but my favourite ground is the Antigua Recreational Ground because that was the ground that Lara broke his 400 not out record on as well as the 375 record on the same ground.
		The Sydney Cricket ground is good too....as well as the one in Adelaide...(if that is how to spell it).
