Old Trafford, Manchester

The Old Trafford pavilion in September 2013, its Victorian brick and twin domed towers wrapped in a modern glass extension. The building dates from the mid-1890s and has looked out on two of the most famous bowling feats in the game: Jim Laker's 19 wickets for 90 against Australia in 1956, and Shane Warne's first ball in Ashes cricket, the leg-break that spun past Mike Gatting in 1993 and became known as the Ball of the Century. Temporary seating takes international crowds to about 26,000.
