Bulawayo Athletic Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bulawayo Athletic Club is the name of a cricket team that competes in Zimbabwe's National League competition. It is also the name given to the club's cricket ground in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. The ground has hosted a single Test match against New Zealand in November 1992. This made the ground the second in Zimbabwe to host a Test match. A One-day International was played at the ground just prior to the Test.
The Test match was hit by poor weather, poor attendances and a poor wicket. Along with these factors, the local cricket administrators believed that nearby Queens Sports Club had better potential as an international venue. Therefore, when Test cricket was next played in Bulawayo, it was at that ground instead.
