Kent County Cricket Ground, Beckenham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kent CCC ground, Beckenham is a cricket ground in Beckenham, England. Although the ground was first used by the Kent 1st XI in 1954 – when it hosted a County Championship match against Gloucestershire – it has since only hosted one Championship match and two matches in what it is now known as the Pro40 League, and has mainly been used for Twenty20 matches. It is in this competition that the ground usually hosts two games per season. In 2008, the two Twenty20 opponents will be Middlesex – for whom, for some strange reason, this will be the fourth consecutive year they face Kent at this ground – and Essex.
The ground has hosted 2 first-class matches, and 3 List A matches and 8 Twenty20 matches.
