i can look around and find more of the oval if you need them:

Notice no floodlights, but you wont make the same mistake as BLIC ...

Wow, very good Slade. Did you actually find them on the web or did you scan a few magazines at home? I'm impressed to tell you the truth!
If we could get pictures like that for all of the mentioned stadiums, then I'm sure Paul (LM) will be thrilled.

 

[slade]

scanned 2 of them from the surrey magazine

the top down view is from their fixture list

i dont know about other county crickets clubs, maybe they could provide similar pictures cos the fixtures list should be freely available.

update:

just checked the surrey website, not very good pictures of the ground
google image wasnt great either
maybe the best place to look is magazines

Would stuff like this be good for the stats - random information that would sound good on commentary and maybe there could be a section on Stadium Stats in-game? Anyway I've done some for the MCG:

MCG Stats -

First Test Match played there in 1877 against England - Australia won by 45 runs.

Highest Test Score at MCG - 604 all out, 5th Test in 1936/37 Ashes, Don Bradman scored 169 in the first innings.

Highest Individual Score at MCG - 307 by Bob Cowper, 5th Test in 1965/66 Ashes, the only Aussie to score 300 on home soil before Hayden's 380.

Most Wickets taken in one match at MCG - All-rounder Wilfred Rhodes took 15-124 against the Aussies in the 1903/04 Ashes 2nd Test - England won by 185 Runs.

Most Career Wickets at MCG - Dennis Lilee took 82 wickets at the MCG, with an average of 21.92.

Most Career Runs at MCG - Donald Bradman made 1671 runs in only 17 innings at the MCG, averaging 128.53 an innings and high scoring with 270 against England in the 3rd Test of the 1936/37 Ashes.

Most Wickets in an innings - Sarfraz Nawaz of Pakistan took 9-86 against the Aussies in a Test Match in 1979. Graham Yallop was the only man who escaped Nawaz's wrath, he was run out.

Not sure what section to post this in but wouldnt it be cool if we had colour commentators and then one play by play Benaud esc commentator to come out with stats like this
