Cheers for those Zainub, suppose I was a bit lazy!

Going on the photo's alone I would pick out Hobart and Adelaide, maybe because of the grass and the sky respectively. Gone for Hobart in the vote though. Very nice grounds, all of them.

Why is Australia not good for finger spinners? Australia have produced very good spinners over the years like Riche Beanaud, Shane Warne and Stuwart Magill. The picth shouldn't be differnt to assist wrist and spin bowlers, should it? So why don't Australia produce good finger spinners?

Wrist spinners can turn the ball on any surface, they just prefer hard, bouncy pitches. Most of the pitches in Oz will be hard, flat and bouncy. Finger spinners don't thrive so much on those, they need more assistance from the pitch.

There are some good young finger spinners around... Dan Cullen, Jason Kreja, Nathan Hauritz e.c.t

Adelaide Oval closely followed by the MCG. I have never even heard of Bundaberg Rum Stadium.

I have been to many test matches both in England & Australia,and in my personal opinion,Adelaide Oval is easily the best, Les Burdet the curator there is generally classed as one of the best,if not the best, in the world,he never produced a bad pitch,ever.also Adelaide is the most picturesque ground I have been to, followed by Worcestershires county ground at Stourbridge,I am given to understand that this ground is actually outside Worcestershire,can someone confirm this for me?.
