The Rose Bowl will become our most intimate Test field, one where the spectators can get closest to the action, both neglect and hear the players. The pitch could well be quite pacey for England to win if their bowlers and fielders refers to accuracy of last winter. "A great opportunity, it should be for all those who attend and see the magnificent view across to the South of England: advantage then just Cricket is played ' on a green hill far away, without a city wall", as the anthem has it.

At the same time, however, English cricket will move another step in our inner cities, on a route which will take it - unless the order - to be an urban sport of suburb. While the cars driving into the Rose Bowl with the only entry (Fortunately, there is now a second exit), young people in Leeds will be less interested by cricket that they would have been if there had been a Test this year at Headingley.

Baseball is said to have lost its main square in the sporting affection of the United States when both teams moved from downtown ball-parks new stages out of the city. If you can access a ground only by car, a large part of the community is excluded from better haves-not for children without parents love cricket.

Hampshire sold their traditional, but small, County soil to the internal path of Northlands in Southampton for 7-8 million of £. Develop the Rose Bowl became the first global project for the lottery-national, but it was conditional on the ground becomes an international site. Once Hampshire took the diving, the ECB should be maintained by the club and to award England games.

Disorders of the teeth have been numerous and make the most laudable achievement. The initial projected cost was 18 million books, including the lottery to 7.5 million to £. But until now, the cost according to the Hampshire Chairman Rod Bransgrove, "has been well more than 30 million pounds, over 35 million books"-of which Bransgrove developed in ' "more than 6 million of £, converted in shares and equity, but I'm looking to get this return". "

Another disorder dentition was the bedlam at the first one-day international.

Bransgrove is a game enough to admit that it was "catastrophic" where many spectators had to wait in the mud and rain for park-ride buses too little after the v of England Sri Lanka day white night in 2004. This time, it will be free parking on the adjacent to golf and additional buses laid on to Southampton Central.

Nigel Gray, Member head from the outset at the Rose Bowl, had 10 years to Northlands Road, from Tom Flintoft. After Flintoft becomes the original member at Chester-le-Street and Durham built what is now called the Emirates Durham ICG, Gray and officials visited Hampshire and decided to make their somewhat smaller dimensions. The result of shorter limits and the spectators seated on terraces in a bowl, is this intimacy.

But intimacy is a quality of our Test match? Certainly, they should generate more basic feelings and raw. We had - for over 100 years - six fine reasons to Test: Headingley and Old Trafford in the North, Edgbaston and Trent Bridge in the region of Midlands, Lord's and the oval in London.

There are six tests in a summer, to get these reasons. If seven, then two at Lord's. Is that people who know the cost of everything and the value of nothing, who decided that counties should bid for Tests on a basis eating of dog-dog, which led in the Yorkshire and Lancashire bankrupt.

But if there is to be a seventh Test ground, it should be the Rose Bowl instead of Cardiff and Chester-le-Street, which are better adapted to one-day internationals. While the remote view of the Rose Bowl is fine, you'll see below, half less than a kilometre, the highway and new hypermarkets and superstores, that keeps expanding South Coast - London is only 75 km switchable. Our population is downtowns. "In a decade or two, the Rose Bowl will be ' without a city wall", but in the service of this new town.
