- Bulawayo Athletic Club
Bulawayo Athletic Club is a
cricket club that competes inZimbabwe 's National League competition. It is also the name given to the club's ground. It can hold over 12,000 spectators.The ground has hosted a single Test match against New Zealand in November 1992. It was thus the second venue in Zimbabwe to host a Test match. A
One Day International was played there 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 nearbyQueens Sports Club had better potential as an international venue. Therefore, when Test cricket was next played inBulawayo , it was at that venue instead.The ground was affected by fire, causing damages of up to USD$400,000, in mid 2007.
