Venues

Unlike previous editions of the Champions League, this season will be confined to one city rather than one or more countries. Sydney, where Australia's domestic List-A competition has been held since the 2013/14 season will play host to the event, with as many as seven different venues.


Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), Syndey

Spoiler: General information

The Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) is the most iconic cricketing venue in Sydney, and of the most prolific cricket grounds in the world. This ground, with an overall capacity of 48,000, has hosted as many as 103 Test matches since 1882 - the most after Lord's and the MCG; and 151 ODIs - second to only Sharjah in the Arabian desert. It is the home ground of the New South Wales cricket team in Australian state cricket, the Sydney Sixers in the BBL and Sydney Swans in the AFL.

The final of Champions League XV will be hosted here, along with two other matches in the "Super Fours" stage of the competition. No group stage matches have been scheduled to take place at this venue.

Spoiler: Pitch type

The SCG pitch generally provides even contests between bat and ball. It is perhaps the best venue for spin bowlers in a country where most pitches favor pace bowling.

Stadium Australia, Sydney Olympic Park

Spoiler: General information

Stadium Australia, also known as the ANZ Stadium for commercial purposes, was unveiled in March 1999 in time for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney. This Olympic stadium with a capacity of over 80,000 (formerly 110,000 for the Olympics) for cricket dwarfs even that of the SCG. After nearly a decade of hosting rugby, soccer and Aussie Rules Football, it was confirmed as an international cricket venue in 2012 when Australia played India in a one-off T20I. It has since become the home ground of the Sydney Thunder in he BBL. There have been no Tests or ODIs played at this venue yet.

This venue will host a total of 3 matches in Champions League XV, including two in the "Super Fours" stage of the competition. It is set to host a List-A match for the first time since January 2005.

Spoiler: Pitch type

The Stadium Australia pitch was once slow and beneficial to spin bowlers. The groundsmen have worked tirelessly to turn it into a fast bouncy wicket with quick runs on offer for batsmen.

North Sydney Oval, North Sydney

Spoiler: General information

The North Sydney Oval is one of the oldest cricketing grounds in Australia, dating back to 1867 when it's first cricket pitch was laid out. It has also hosted Women's Test and one-day matches. Despite this, the only men's tournaments that have taken place in the venue are that of Australia's domestic first-class and List-A competitions. The ground has a capacity of 20,000 and is a prominent venue for Rugby Union matches and outdoor cinema.

This venue will be used only in the group stages of Champions League XV, hosting 3 matches across three rounds.

Spoiler: Pitch type

For most part of the 20th century, The North Sydney Oval was one of the most dangerous venues for batsmen, and was given the nickname "Concrete Park". In recent times though, the pitch has been renovated and made to be a good batting wicket. It still remains a good venue for fast bowling.

Bankstown Oval, Sydney

Spoiler: General information

The Bankstown Oval is ground with a capacity of 8,000 used mostly for cricket and AFL matches. It's first cricket match of any importance dates back to 1949, though it didn't become a first-class venue until November 1996. It has also hosted international matches for Women's cricket and generally plays home to the New South Wales cricket team in the Sheffield Shield and Australia's domestic List-A competition. There haven't been any Test or ODIs in men's cricket played here till date.

A total of 3 matches, all in the group stages of Champions League XV, have been allotted to this venue.

Spoiler: Pitch type

The Bankstown Oval pitch tends either be evenly balanced or extremely bowler-friendly without prior warning. The small size of the ground also makes six hitting easier on days when the pitch isn't doing much, which could lead to a big total every now and then.

Drummoyne Oval, Drummoyne

Spoiler: General information

The Drummoyne Oval is a ground used primarily for cricket matches, while also being used for Rugby Union and Aussie Rules football from time to time. It has a capacity of 5,000. The venue's highest claim to fame is hosting five matches in the 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup. However, the highest honors it has been given in men's cricket is 5 List-A matches played sporadically over a period of 12 years since 2003 and one Youth Test involving India in 1994/95. The number of List-A matches are likely to double with five Matador BBQs One-Day matches set to be played here in the 2015/16 season.

The Drummoyne Oval will be needed to host only 2 matches in the group stage of Champions League XV, with one of it's potential matches being given away to the 16 times larger Stadium Australia.

Spoiler: Pitch type

The Drummoyne Oval pitch offers a good deal of assistance to spin bowling with it's occasionally turning wickets. It's short boundaries are just as likely to favor big-hitting batsmen.

Hurstville Oval, Hurstville

Spoiler: General information

The Hurstville Oval is perhaps one of the smallest grounds to be used for staging first-class and List-A matches in Australian domestic cricket, with a capacity of just 1,000. After being opened in 1911, it's early unofficial matches involved Australian greats like Warren Bardsley and Sir Don Bradman. But it has hosted top level cricket matches only sporadically since becoming a first-class venue in 1995, although Cricket Australia's decision to stage every Australian domestic List-A competition in Sydney since 2013/14 has made it a more active venue of late.

This venue was brought in as a last minute replacement for the Alan Davidson Oval which was reduced to hosting just one warm-up match in Champions League XV. It is set to host 3 group stage matches before the Super Fours and final go to the more noteworthy venues of Sydney.

Spoiler: Pitch type

The Hurstville Oval pitch and it's short boundaries are a batsman's delight. It was probably the main reason behind it replacing the Alan Davidson Oval as a venue of Champions League XV.

Alan Davidson Oval, Sydney Park

Spoiler: General information

The Alan Davidson Oval is a cricket ground located within Sydney Park. Named after the legendary Australian all-round cricketer Alan Davidson, this venue has seen no real matches of importance since Tasmania taking on the touring New Zealanders for a couple of matches in 2002/03, one of which they only narrowly lost by 4 runs. Since 2009, there have been absolutely no cricket matches worthy of a CricketArchive scorecard at all.

Understandably, it was denied the privilege of hosting anything other than one warm-up match for Champions League XV.

Spoiler: Pitch type

The Alan Davidson Oval pitch is expected to favor ball over bat, making room for low-scoring thrillers.

2019 Cricket World Cup

Spoiler: Qualifiers

Unlike the ICC losers, I don't plan on hosting just one single qualifying tournament featuring the bottom feeders of the Test arena along with some associates from WCL Division 1 and 2. I plan on hosting multiple qualifying tournaments à la FIFA for every continental zone. The concept is quite similar to your WC 32 idea, except that I'll look to host separate qualifiers for the Caribbean nations and the other cricket-playing nations in North, South and Central America.

My list of qualifying tournaments will include one each in Africa, Asia, the Americas (North, South & Central), the Americas (Caribbean), East-Asia Pacific and Europe. The number of participants and guaranteed WC finals spots have been mentioned in the table below. As hosts, England and Wales qualify directly for the World Cup finals.

Region|Teams|Qualified|Eliminated|WC finals spots
Africa | 23* | 0 | 0 | 4
Americas NCS | 16 | 0 | 0 | 3
Americas CAR | 20* | 0 | 0 | 5
Asia | 21* | 0 | 0 | 7
East Asia-Pacific | 17* | 0 | 0 | 4
Europe | 39+2* | 2 | 0 | 7+2
Total | 136 + 2* | 2 | 0 | 30 + 2

*Indicates the number of participants aren't fully confirmed yet.​

I understand how much easier it would be to simply have one qualifying tournament for the Americas & Caribbean nations, but I really want to give a fighting chance of qualification to as many nations as possible. That's what truly puts the World in the Cup from the way I see it.

So, 6 qualifying tourneys (and not in the knockout format) followed by a 32-team World Cup. Looks quite impossible to do, but I've got nearly 3 years (I hope it doesn't take me that long!) until the real life WC starts. The chances aren't so bad. This could also end up indefinitely delaying my all-time WC idea, but the heart wants what the heart wants. I'll probably take ages to start that anyway and this should serve as a nice preview of sorts before the real deal.
