Historical landmarks include the spectacular

Clifton Suspension Bridge, designed by Isambard

Kingdom Brunel.

WELCOME TO BRISTOLBristol is the largest city in the south-west of England. A historic port city steeped in maritime traditions, the modern Bristol has an innovative, dynamic culture, making it one of the most cosmopolitan centres outside London.

At its heart is cultural diversity – there are 91 different languages spoken in the city – and independent spirit.

With two universities, its large student population adds to the alternative, unorthodox vibe as does the street art of Banksy, a notable Bristolian, that you can find throughout the city and in its museums as well as many other celebrated street artists.

The St Pauls Carnival, which marked its 50th anniversary in 2018, is one of Britain’s foremost celebrations of Afro-Caribbean culture and takes place on 6 July in 2019.

Bristol is a leader in environmental concerns and was European Green capital in 2015 – the only UK city to hold the title. It was the first Cycling City in the UK and has been named as the highest ranked city in the world for an interest in veganism.

In 1497, the Genoese sailor Giovanni Caboto, known locally as John Cabot, sailed from Bristol to discover

Newfoundland on the east coast of Canada. The city became a major port, central to the ‘Triangular Trade’ of slaves and luxury goods like sugar, tobacco and rum.

The commercial port is now outside of the central area and the old historic docks are now lined with bars, restaurants and museums with an abundance of watersports available.

Historical landmarks include the spectacular Clifton Suspension Bridge and the SS Great Britain, both designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who also was responsible for building the Great Western Railway. The SS Great Britain took the first England touring cricket team to Australia.

Bristol is a hub for the aeronautical industry and was instrumental in the development of the Concorde jet (now defunct). Manufactured in Filton, to the north of the centre, the last Concorde to fly is now on show at the Aerospace Bristol museum.

The street art of Banksy, a notable

Bristolian, can be found throughout the city. Bristol is superbly located with a variety

of interesting and appealing places relatively close by. Glastonbury, home of the world-famous music festival, is 43km to the south; Wells Cathedral is 34km to the southeast. The southern part of the Cotswold Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, start to the east. Bath, with its stunning architecture, is 15 minutes away by train.

Bristol has two professional football teams, City and Rovers. City are the only one of the pair to have played in the top flight but not since 1980.

Bristol rugby union club – now known as Bristol Bears – won promotion to the Premiership in 2018. The south-west is a hotspot for rugby union with nearby Bath and Gloucester, well-established top-tier teams and Exeter, further to the west in Devon, a recent arrival at the game’s top table.

As well as being the home of Gloucestershire Cricket, Bristol is also where in 1899, at Clifton College, that the schoolboy AEJ Collins scored 628 not out, a world record that stood until 2015-16.

Places of worship, such as churches, gurdwaras, mosques, synagogues and temples can be found in many areas of the city. For more information, please contact your hotel reception, Bristol Tourist Information Centre or www.visitbristol.co.uk

What does Bristol mean to you?It’s a great city. I came here in 1986 and I’ve never wanted to leave. I had seven years at Lord’s as MCC’s head coach but my family home was always in Bristol. It’s changed immensely since I first arrived and very much for the better. The regeneration of the Harbourside makes it a fab place to be now with lots of different options for eating and hanging out. Cabot Circus might be ‘only’ a shopping centre but the way they’ve done it is unlike any other I’ve seen. Aesthetically it looks great, it’s an interesting place to be and you almost feel like you’re outside at times. The variety of shops and eating and drinking is great.

What are your favourite places to eat and drink in and around Bristol?There are two areas that I particularly like. The Gloucester Road is full of independent shops and is close to the cricket ground. It feels really Bristolian with a good, healthy vibe. There are loads of cafés and some nice casual dining places. The other place is Wapping Wharf, which is more trendy. They’ve brought in all these containers which have been converted into cafés and coffee shops. I find that a great place to catch up with people. There’s the M Shed museum which is a great place to go. Jump on one of the water taxis down there.

What are your favourite memories of playing at the Bristol County Ground?The statistics suggest I enjoyed playing at Cheltenham more but Bristol became a bit of a fortress for us, particularly in one-day cricket. The success on the field brought the supporters alive. Any supporter of any team wants to see a group of players enjoying what they’re doing and getting some wins, which is what we did. I think we stimulated the crowd a bit and in turn they repaid the favour over a period of seven to eight years. They used to sit in front of the old Jessop Tavern, ‘stewing’ with a bit of cider and having a great day out.

Who’s your favourite Gloucestershire cricket personality?Courtney Walsh is not technically from the West Country but I think people adopted him. I know he’s remembered for being scary with the ball and taking loads of wickets but it was his warm, wholesome contribution that inspired me. He was so unselfish as a cricketer. He was up for every game and he really enjoyed other people doing well around him. His contribution was bigger than his wickets.

Supporters want to see players enjoying

themselves and getting some wins, which is

what we did.

BRISTOL COUNTYGROUNDHome of Gloucestershire and a favourite for Sachin

16 17

BRISTOL COUNTY GROUND“Bristol heard a roar that probably startled the lions in the zoo,” reported Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack about the reception Sachin Tendulkar received when he walked out to bat during India’s ICC Cricket World Cup group match against Kenya in 1999.

Tendulkar played three internationals

at Bristol and his lowest score was 99.

The great man did not disappoint, scoring 140 from 101 balls and putting on 237 in 29 overs with Rahul Dravid. It was his 22nd ODI century but the first when not opening and, more remarkably, it came the day after he had returned from attending his father’s funeral in India.

Tendulkar played three internationals at Bristol (of the 16 the ground has held) and his lowest score was 99.

WG Grace, who bought the ground in 1889, would surely have approved of great players performing great deeds. He certainly had more than his share, not least his 318 not out against Sussex in 1876, which remained Gloucestershire’s highest score for 128 years.

In 1938, Jim Smith scored a fifty in 11 minutes for Gloucestershire against Middlesex, which still stands as the fastest half-century on record.

A decade later Australia’s ‘Invincibles’ racked up 774 for seven against Gloucestershire with the opener Arthur Morris making a career best 290.

In the early 2000s when Gloucestershire were riding high as the one-day kings of county cricket, one fan took to bringing a frozen chicken to matches. It was an homage to a 1970s superstition when a supporter mistakenly brought a frozen bird instead of a packed lunch to a Lord’s final that Gloucestershire won. The chicken would be passed around the crowd and then taken home and refrozen ready for the next game.

1918

Bristol staged eight matches at the ICC Women’s World Cup in 2017 including the

nail-biting semi-final between England and South Africa.

Bristol hosted its first international at the ICC Cricket World Cup in 1983 and also staged two matches in the 1999 tournament.

The following year it hosted the first day/night international in England when Zimbabwe beat the Windies. Permanent floodlights were installed in time for the 2016 season.

Bristol staged eight matches at the ICC Women’s World Cup 2017, including the nail-biting semi-final between England and South Africa which the hosts won by two runs.

The ground is located just off Nevil Road in Bishopston, a residential area of north Bristol that is also close to the Gloucester Road which is full of independent shops, cafés and restaurants.

Gloucestershire also play fixtures at the picturesque Cheltenham College ground.

WG’s father, Henry Mills Grace, founded the club and his brothers Edward and Fred, were both huge contributors on and off the field. Edward and Fred both played a single Test each for England, alongside WG. It was the first Test to be played in England, at The Oval in 1880 against Australia. Edward opened the batting with WG, who made 152, although Fred’s contribution to England’s five-wicket win was less memorable – he made a pair.

WG Grace played in Gloucestershire’s maiden first-class match in 1870 and was still playing for them 29 years later at the age of 50, his long, grey beard and substantial girth helping to shape one of the game’s most enduring personalities.

He remains the fifth highest first-class run-scorer of all time with 54,896 (22,808 of which were for Gloucestershire) and the sixth highest wicket-taker in history with 2,876, 1,339 of which were for Gloucestershire.

As one Gloucestershire great exited, another filled his place. Gilbert Jessop was a hitter of explosive power and took over as the county’s captain in 1900 following Grace’s departure. At Hove against Sussex in June 1903, Jessop, known as ‘The Croucher’ because of his unusual stance, smashed 286 in five minutes under three hours. The next top score in Gloucestershire’s innings of 482 was 71.

Until 1973, trophies were not part of the Gloucestershire story but great players certainly were. In the 1920s and 1930s emerged a batting colossus who can still lay claim to being England’s finest ever batsman.

Wally Hammond, a powerful, athletic, moody man, was also a very handy medium-pace bowler and brilliant slip fielder. But it was his stylish batting – and in particular the cover drive – that made him superior to anyone of his time, except Don Bradman.

In March 1933, Hammond surpassed Bradman’s world Test record of 334 by scoring 336 not out in New Zealand.

One name towers over the history of cricket in Gloucestershire: Grace. It was not only William Gilbert Grace, better known as WG, but the whole family who had an influence on the county club.

GLOUCESTERSHIRECRICKET

WG Grace is one of the game’s

most enduring personalities.

2524

In the English summer that followed Hammond scored more than 3,000 runs, one of three such achievements in his career. He finished with more than 50,000 runs and 36 double centuries, second only to Bradman.

He scored two hundreds in a match seven times, a feat bettered only by Australia’s Ricky Ponting but equalled by another Gloucestershire hero from a much later era: Pakistan great Zaheer Abbas.

Zaheer, or Zed as he was affectionately known to county supporters, made batting look easy and is the only Asian batsman to have scored 100 hundreds.

His career tally of 108 (49 for Gloucestershire) ranks him 17th in the exclusive club of 25 batsmen to have made a century of centuries. He is one of four Gloucestershire players on that list alongside Grace, Hammond and Tom Graveney.

Zed joined the county in 1972, a year after he had made 274 in only his second Test against England at Edgbaston. In 1976, he topped the English run-scoring charts with 2,554 runs at an average of 75.

Alongside fellow countryman, Sadiq Mohammad, Zaheer was part of Gloucestershire’s first trophy triumph – a 40-run victory in the Lord’s 60-over final victory in 1973.

The county’s top scorer that day was South African all-rounder Mike Procter, whose impact at Gloucestershire led to writers and commentators referring to the county as Procter-shire.

With more than 20,000 runs and 1,000-plus wickets in all cricket, Procter was one of the stars of the county game in the 1970s while his country was barred from international competition because of the apartheid regime.

In 1977, he helped Gloucestershire to a one-day final (which they won) with a devastating spell of bowling (11-5-13-6) in the semi-final against Hampshire. Bustling in around the wicket with his unusual action whirlwind action, Procter took four wickets in five balls, including a hat-trick, with ferocious inswinging yorkers.

The ultimate prize of the County Championship remains out of reach – the county have finished second six times, most recently in 1986 – but Gloucestershire have continued to make a mark in the white-ball formats. Under the coaching of New Zealand’s John Bracewell and the understatedly impressive captaincy of England all-rounder Mark Alleyne, the county won seven one-day trophies in six years between 1999 and 2004.

Other key members of those dynamic teams were England’s brilliant and eccentric wicket-keeper Jack Russell and Windies’ all-time great Courtney Walsh. Walsh’s tireless and relentlessly accurate pace bowling brought him 869 first-class wickets at 20 and another 243 one-day wickets at 21.

The county reprised some of those glory days when they won the 50-over cup at Lord’s in 2015 by beating Surrey in the final.

Zaheer, or Zed as he was known, is the only Asian batsman to have scored 100 hundreds.

MEDIA SERVICESFurther informationIf you have any further questions on media accreditation or match day access please contact the Cricket World Cup 2019 Media Operations team on mediaoperations@cwc19.co.uk.

Media working areas’ opening/closing timings• On match days, the media working

areas will open three hours before the scheduled start of play and will close two hours after the completion of the mixed zone.
