Where is sabina park

Sabina Park Cricket Stadium , Kingston. Sabina Park became a Test cricket ground in when it hosted the visiting MCC team for the fourth and final Test in the West Indies' first home series. This picturesque ground is perhaps one of the most significant in Test cricket history recording the first triple century in the game with England's Andy Sandham's versus the West Indies in the game.

The not out by Sir Garfield Sobers which stood as a Test record for over 36 years is more regaled, as was Lawrence Rowe's world record on debut and not out against the visiting New Zealand in The George Headley stand which dominates the south end is currently the only stand in the ground named after anyone, and has a capacity of just over 6, The general capacity of Jamaicans for excess is aptly demonstrated in the construction of the huge five-level concrete stand which hosts the outside broadcast facilities, players facilities as well as a fleet of upscale private boxes.

Capacity About Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica. The Sabina Park cricket stadium has the reputation to have one of the fastest and hardest pitches in the cricket world. It is the home of Kingston Cricket Club and the only stadium in Jamaica.

Sabina Park started hosting Test matches with the reputation of being a nightmare for the batsmen and an open feast for the fast bowlers. Of late, the reputation has received severe knockings against rumours that the pitch has slowed down. In terms of size, Sabina Park was relatively small, but like other major grounds in the region it underwent a major renovation ahead of the World Cup, a process that was fraught with headaches and delays.

The capacity was raised from 15, to 20,, still 5, less than the Trelawny Stadium down the coast. Locals were worried that the unique atmosphere of the old ground would be lost amid the mass of new concrete, and the acid test will come during the tournament. The spectacular Blue Mountains, home of the world famous Blue Mountain coffee form a picturesque and spectacular backdrop to the north facing the George Headley Stand, with Kingston Harbour to the south.

Sabina Park's greatest moment in Test cricket was the not out made by Garry Sobers against the Pakistanis that stood for many years as the highest individual test score.

Conversely its worst moment was when the England - West Indies Test in was abandoned on the opening day due to an appalling pitch endangering the players.
