Allan Border Oval, Mosman

Allan Border Oval, Mosman
We went down to Sydney, for the weekend, to the cricket ODI match Australia v England at the SCG.

The day afterwards we had lunch with a friend in Mosman, and strolled past this historic cricket ground.

CREMORNE-BORN and ­Mosman-raised cricket legend Allan Border has reflected on a childhood "full of good memories" where sport was life.

"I had a pretty idyllic childhood growing up in Mosman," he said.

"I lived across the road from Mosman Oval (now Allan Border Oval), so it was cricket in the summer and baseball in the winter."

Allan Border was always respected by English cricket aficionados as a tough cookie, a dogged opponant but always a fair one. A good captain too. Stood up tall against some of the fiercest fast bowling of any era.
I'm a cricket nut (and get a bit starved of it in Spain!) ... and love your shot here!

Ian is a cricket fan, and I enjoy the T20 matches and ODI. This ground in Mosman was so tranquil considering it is close to the fairly busy Mosman village. A lovely village green atmosphere, surrounded by characterful houses.

Wow - although I'm not a cricket fan, I can appreciate how you feel walking past this ground. I think my late brother would have been very envious. I hope you have a great weekend.
