Saxton Oval.

I think Saxton Oval is an awesome cricket ground and I am so pleased that international cricket has returned to Nelson. It has a wonderful atmosphere with a maximum  capacity of 6000. It first opened in 2010 when it had its first international women's game against Australia. The first men's game was in January 2014. It also hosted three games of World Cup cricket in 2015. I am looking forward to seeing NZ women play England women in March.
