The Bradman Bowl in Bowral is the venue for two matches during the World Cup.

On Saturday 7 March India will play Pakistan in Group B - a fixture England will have a keen eye on - while New Zealand meet South Africa at the same venue five days later.

Established in 1891, the pretty ground in the south west of Sydney is steeped in history.

Originally a concrete pitch until 1946, it was the following year that the ground was named after Australia's most famous cricketer who was raised in Bowral.

Following the formation of the Bradman Foundation in the 1980s, which built a museum to Australian cricket adjacent to the Oval, the ground was given a makeover as part of that project.

In 1990-91 the ground hosted its first major touring side when England played a select Bradman XI and the venue is frequently used for New South Wales Second XI matches.

England women's team will have good memories of playing here as it was at Bowral that they won the Ashes last February.
