5 famous cricket stadiums in the world

#3 SCG, Sydney, Australia

SCG is one of the world's most popular cricket grounds

Situated in the bustling city of Sydney in Australia is the famous Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). It is one of the oldest Test venues in the world. It has even hosted a large number of ODIs including many crucial knockout games. SCG is a personal favourite to many cricketers including the great Sachin Tendulkar.

Having a capacity of around 40,000 SCG is one of the best venues to watch. The ground is generally a batsman's paradise. It has witnessed a lot of runs being scored over the years. In fact, Sir Don Bradman's highest first class score of 452* came at this very ground. Even Michael Clarke's record triple century against India was registered at the SCG. The pitch even offers help to the spinners when the ball starts gripping the surface.

SCG has hosted as many as 104 Test matches so far. At this ground, former Aussie captain Ricky Ponting holds the record for scoring most number of Test runs (1480 runs) while Alan Border holds the same in ODIs with 1561 runs. Coming to the bowlers, Shane Warne, as expected, has the highest number of Test wickets (64 wickets) while Glenn McGrath tops the list in ODIs with 50 wickets.
