3) Allan Border Field
Allan Border is Australia’s first World Cup winning captain who transformed the game in Australia and built the team invincible. He was a great captain and a batsman of many gratitude.
A ground was named after him in the suburb of Albion in Queensland. The Australian Cricket Academy has been based at the Oval since 2004 using it as a base for the development of elite cricketers throughout Australia.
The ground was formerly known as Neumann Oval and was home to Fortitude Valley Diehards rugby league team from 1009 until 1995. The Oval was named after for Fred “Firpo” Neumann, Valley’s club captain and Queensland and Australian representative footballer. Queensland cricket purchased the ground not long after Valley’s relocation and named it in honour of former Australian cricket captain Allan Border.
The ground is used as a training facility for the Queensland Bulls and more recently the Australian cricket Team. The capacity of the ground is 6,300.
