Old Trafford Cricket Ground
As of 2006, its capacity is 22,000 for Test matches, and 14,000 for
other matches. Lancashire have been reviewing their options for
providing themselves with a larger more modern ground for some time;
either redeveloping Old Trafford or moving to a new location elsewhere.
As of March 2006 no decision has been made.The section of Warwick Road leading to the Metrolink Station was
renamed Brian Statham Way (in honour of the former Lancashire and
England player) and this end of the ground is now known as the Brian
Statham End. Old Trafford cricket ground in Manchester has been the home of Lancashire County Cricket Club since 1856. International Test matches have been played there since 1884. The two ends of the ground were known as the Warwick Road End (to the east) and the Stretford End (to the west).
The cricket ground is near the Old Trafford football stadium, in the borough of Trafford in Greater Manchester. In 1993, Old Trafford was the site of one of the most remarkable events in the history of cricket, Shane Warne's so-called Ball of the Century to Mike Gatting.
