Allan Border Field
Allan Border Field is a cricket ground in the Brisbane 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.
It was formerly known as Neumann Oval and was home to the Fortitude Valley Diehards rugby league team from 1909 until 1995. The oval was named after Fred "Firpo" Neumann, Valley's club captain (and later president) 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, which is much smaller than the Gabba. It is also used as a home venue for the Queensland Bulls and Cricket Australia XI in Australian domestic cricket.
First grade rugby league was played at the ground between 1960 and 1995 by the Fortitude Valley Diehards in the Brisbane Rugby League competition. The club won 15 titles during their tenure in the league, the most of any club, and produced future Queensland captain and immortal Wally Lewis.
The first first-class match held at the ground was played between Queensland and a touring Pakistan team in 1999 during which both Matthew Hayden and Stuart Law made centuries as Queensland won the match by 112 runs.
The venue hosted Australian domestic and List A matches in the early-2000s, including the 1999/00 Pura Cup Final but, in later years, was restricted to tour matches between Queensland and international teams, with the Gabba becoming the primary home of the Queensland Bulls.
In 2009, Pakistan A won in a three-match one-day series against Australia A but, lost the subsequent Twenty20 match.
Sheffield Shield was re-introduced in 2010 with a match played between Queensland and South Australia and more games have been played since, including a match in 2013 between Queensland and Tasmania during which Jordan Silk made a century.
In 2014, two four-day matches were played between Australia A and a touring India A team. Naman Ojha made a double-century in one of the matches. Mitchell Marsh, who scored 211, and Sam Whiteman, who scored 174, put on 371 runs for the eighth wicket, an Australian record and the second-highest eighth-wicket partnership recorded. Both matches resulted in a draw.
