Allan Border Field is a small cricket ground in the Brisbane suburb of Albion in Queensland. The Australian Cricket Academy has been based at the oval since 2004 using it as a base for the development of elite cricketers throughout Australia. It was formerly known as ''Neumann Oval'' and was home to Fortitude Valley Diehards rugby league team from 1909 until 1995. The oval was named for Fred "Firpo" Neumann, Valley's club captain (and later president) and Queensland and Australian representative footballer. Queensland Cricket purchased the ground not long after Valley's relocation and named it in honour of former Australian cricket captain Allan Border. The ground is used as a training facility for the Queensland Bulls and more recently the Australian cricket team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aussie men front up at fitness camp )〕 The capacity of the ground is 6,300, which is much smaller than The Gabba. ==History== One of the first recorded 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=First-Class Matches played on Allan Border Field, Brisbane )〕 first-class matches held at the ground was played between Queensland and a touring Pakistan team in 1999 during which, both Matthew Hayden and Stuart Law 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stuart Law 102 vs Pakistan 1999/00 Allan Border Field )〕 made centuries as Queensland won the match by 112 runs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Queensland v Pakistan in 1999/00 )〕 The venue hosted Australian domestic and List A matches in the early-2000s, including the 1999/00 Pura Cup Final 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Queensland v Victoria in 1999/00 )〕 but, in later years, was restricted to tour matches between Queensland and international teams with The Gabba becoming the primary home of the Queensland Bulls. In 2009, Pakistan A won in a three-match one-day series against Australia A 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=List A Matches played on Allan Border Field, Brisbane )〕 but, lost the subsequent Twenty20 match.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Australia A v Pakistan A in 2009 )〕 Sheffield Shield was re-introduced in 2010 with a match played between Queensland and South Australia 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Queensland v South Australia in 2010/11 )〕 and more games have been played since, including a match in 2013 between Queensland and Tasmania during which Jordan Silk made a century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Queensland v Tasmania at Brisbane )〕 In 2014, two four-day matches were played between Australia A and a touring India A team.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Brisbane to host Australia A games )〕 Naman Ojha made a double-century and Mitchell Marsh, who scored 211, and Sam Whiteman, who scored 174, put on 371 runs for the eighth wicket, an Australian record and the second-highest eighth-wicket partnership recorded.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Marsh, Whiteman flatten India A with huge stand )〕 Both matches resulted in a draw.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Australia A Quad Series )〕 On June 23, 2014, it was announced that the field would jointly play host to the initial rounds of the newly sponsored Matador BBQs One-Day Cup in October.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Enormous cricket feast revealed )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Matador BBQs One-Day Cup 2014 )〕 In the first match, Josh Hazlewood took 7 for 36 against South Australia, the third-best bowling performance in Australian domestic one-day history and the best by a New South Welshman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hazlewood takes seven in Blues win )〕 Four days later, Jonathan Wells made the second-highest score in List A cricket at Allan Border Field, becoming just the fourth batsman to make a century in List A cricket at the ground. In the same match Sam Rainbird took figures of 5 for 29.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tasmania claim bonus point in big win )〕 However, in the last match, Queenslander Joe Burns made 115 against South Australia in a 94-run victory, passing Wells' score and becoming the fifth batsman to make a century in List A cricket at the ground.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Burns fires Queensland to bonus-point win )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=9th Match: South Australia v Queensland at Brisbane, Oct 12, 2014 )〕 On July 8, 2015, Victorian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis hit part-time medium-pacer Brendan Smith for six sixes in an over on his way to 121 from 73 balls while playing for the National Performance Squad in a 50-over match against a National Indigenous Squad. Smith, captain of the New South Wales under-17s, also sent down a wide meaning his one over of the match went for 37 runs. The game was a non-sanctioned practice match.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Stoinis smashes six sixes in an over )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Allan Border Field」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
