Usually Pakistan organise their games here due to their home problems.... Eager to see IPL games here....

Nicely kept ground, shame they can't get decent crowds there though. That outfield is looking very good there.

YES... you know Dubai, those Sheikhs got more money then grass in their garden... so they built up a world class stadium, but doesnt know what to do with it

That's what I was thinking. The crowds would go if they had a big tournament there I'd imagine though.

Would never happen but it would be awesome if the WACA was bulldozed and something like that was built there instead, it's about the right size for cricket in Perth.

Would provide good shade from the sun all around as well.

Yeah, no shit sitting on the eastern bank is like being in an oven lol.

Actually a design with an open section between the stand and the roof would be great if it could somehow let the sea breeze through in the afternoon.

 

[Brian Lara]

Yeah, no shit!

LOL! You've pasted him!

 

[SriLanka]

No doubt Dharmashala

Dharmashala does look spectacular.
Most open grounds have something about them, whether it be cityscapes or landscapes. As much as I love the MCG for its atmosphere and heritage, its not "beautiful" in any way whatsoever.

I think its those snow capped Himalayas in the background which makes it particularly appealing...

not only that the ground's colours matches the background and makes it stand out.

Absolutely, I'm a sucker for those types of landscapes. And the main stands looks like cricket grandstands, but with a sense of place. The style suits the setting, reminiscent of Himalayan style buildings (or, at least, of the stereotypical Tibetan or Nepalese ones we occasionally see images of here).

I think they didnt build any shades over most part of the stands for the very same reason, since building shades might have cut off the background.....

Dharamshala is the centre of the Tibetan exile world. Its Dalai Lama's town. So, yes that stand is made like a buddhist monastery..

Also because it's cold in that part of india so I don't think the sun affects the crowd much

Has a similar feel to the King Fahd football stadium in Saudi Arabia.
