Kensington Oval
Bridgetown home since 1870
Overview
Kensington Oval staged the 2007 World Cup final, where Australia beat Sri Lanka in fading light. The Party Stand and the Bajan crowds make it the carnival ground of the Caribbean. Malcolm Marshall and Garfield Sobers learned the game in Barbados, whose cricket identity flows from this ground.
