Titwood, known as Citylets Titwood during international matches for sponsorship reasons, is a cricket ground〔(Cricket Grounds ), from CricketArchive, retrieved May 8, 2008〕 in the Pollokshields district of Glasgow, Scotland. It is the home of the Clydesdale Cricket Club and alternates with The Grange〔(Cricket Grounds ), from CricketArchive, retrieved May 8, 2008〕 in Edinburgh as a home venue for the Scotland national cricket team. Titwood was approved by the International Cricket Council in May 2007 for the hosting of ICC One-Day International matches. It became the fourth Scottish ground to be granted ODI status, as it was seen as a hub of cricket in Scotland, along with the Grange,〔 Aberdeenshire's Mannofield〔(Cricket Grounds ), from CricketArchive, retrieved May 8, 2008〕 and Ayr's New Cambusdoon.〔(Cricket Grounds ), from CricketArchive, retrieved May 8, 2008〕 The first of these, an 'offshore international' between India and Pakistan in July 2007 was a victim of the wet weather. The second game was played in August the same year, was between Scotland and India. In January 2014, Titwood hosted Scotland’s last three Clydesdale Bank 40 home group games. ==History== Clydesdale moved to Titwood in 1876, having previously played at Kinning Park since their formation in 1848. As they had done with their former home, Clydesdale rented the grounds at Titwood from the Pollok Estate. The original pitch was situated next to Darnley Road, on land now occupied by Hutchesons' Grammar School. In 1904, the pitch was relocated westwards and a new pavilion constructed. Clydesdale bought Titwood from the Pollok Estate in 1987 for £29,000. Titwood has been selected to host four first first-class matches involving Scotland, the first against the Marylebone Cricket Club in July 1963. The annual fixture against Ireland was staged at Titwood in 1984 and 1986.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Grounds/24/1687_f.html )〕 An ICC Intercontinental Cup match against Kenya was scheduled to be played on the ground in 2008, but no play was possible due to rain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Titwood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
