Located on a triangular peninsula on the south coast of England at the confluence of the Rivers Test and Itchen, Southampton offers an appealing mixture of city, coast and countryside, with the the New Forest and South Downs National Parks very close by.

The popular holiday destination of the Isle of Wight is a short ferry ride across the Solent while Hampshire’s county town of Winchester, England’s ancient capital, is about 20km north of Southampton.

The warm, sunny climate of the south coast makes it a popular area to live, especially the towns of Christchurch, Bournemouth and Poole. Head further west into Dorset and you will find the spectacular Jurassic Coast.

Southampton has a rich maritime history. It was where the Pilgrim Fathers first set forth in 1620 on the Mayflower for the New World before putting into Plymouth for repairs.

The Titanic set sail from Southampton, having been built in Belfast, on 10 April 1912 bound for New York but, of course, the largest ship afloat at the time never reached its destination.

Between the two world wars, Southampton was known as the ‘Gateway to the Empire’.

It was the home port of the Queen Elizabeth II ocean liner, from its launch in 1969 until it was retired in 2008. The port remains Europe’s largest cruise ship port and has four active cruise terminals.

Portsmouth is about 30km east of Southampton and has an equally significant sea-faring heritage. It is the traditional home of the Royal Navy and where King Henry VIII’s favourite ship, the Mary Rose, and Admiral Nelson’s 18th-century flagship, HMS Victory, can be visited.

WELCOME TO SOUTHAMPTONSouthampton is the UK’s second largest port and, along with Portsmouth, one of Hampshire’s two largest cities.

Southampton offers an appealing

mixture of city, coast and countryside.

Portsmouth and Southampton have a keenly-felt rivalry, not least on the football field. Southampton, known as the Saints, play at St Mary’s Stadium in the east of the city and are one of the few clubs to have won the FA Cup while playing in the second tier of English football.

Their shock victory over Manchester United in 1976 remains one of the most talked-about Wembley finals.

Portsmouth, aka Pompey, created their own piece of FA Cup history in 2008 when they were surprise winners, lifting their first major trophy for 58 years.

Winchester, the ancient capital of England, is an hour’s train journey from Southampton on the edge of the South Downs. Its impressive cathedral, the longest medieval cathedral in Europe, is the last resting place of the author Jane Austen.

Hampshire is also the cradle of cricket – the Hambledon Club were playing at Broadhalfpenny Down, around 35km east of Southampton, in the 18th century. Thomas Lord, the founder of Lord’s, is buried at West Meon church, around 30km north-east of Southampton.

Places of worship, such as churches, gurdwaras, mosques, synagogues and temples can be found in many areas of the city. For more information, please contact your hotel reception.

Portsmouth has an equally significant sea-faring heritage.

What do you like about Southampton and the surrounding area?Before playing for Southern Vipers I hadn’t spent that much time in or around Southampton. But I realised quite quickly just how many beautiful places there are in the area.

What are your favourite places to eat and drink in and around Southampton?Bishops Waltham, which is about 20 minutes’ drive (11km) from the ground, has some lovely places and in particular a cafe called Josie’s (www.josieswinecoffee.com), which is part-owned by Chris Robshaw, the England rugby union player. There’s also a branch in Winchester.

The Robin Hood at Durley (www.therobinhooddurley.co.uk) was recommended to me by a few people and I’ve really enjoyed going there. There’s a Thai tapas place called Mango (www.mangothai.co.uk) in Southampton itself which I particularly like. Beefy’s restaurant (www.ageasbowl.com/beefys) at the cricket ground is lovely.

For shopping, I like the Gunwharf Quays designer outlet (www.gunwharf-quays.com) in Portsmouth or Westquay (www.west-quay.co.uk) in Southampton.

Do you venture out of the city?The New Forest (www.gonewforest.com) is only half an hour away. In Southampton, seeing all the big cruise ships come in is quite something. I went a bit further to the Jurassic coastline in Dorset which is lovely and is also where the TV drama Broadchurch, which I was really into, was filmed. Winchester is gorgeous with the cathedral and the history. It’s a great place to go for a day.

What are your favourite memories of the Hampshire Bowl? I played there quite a bit and I feel extremely lucky to work there every day. It’s such a self-contained venue and the concourse means you can explore the whole ground. I do have very fond memories of playing there – winning the Ashes in 2013 by beating Australia in a T20 International was a highlight and then to have finished my playing career with the Vipers. The whole package is terrific: the practice facilities are excellent and it has some spectacular views. It always seems to be sunny when I’m there!

Who’s your favourite Hampshire cricket personality?From the time I was growing up, Robin Smith is someone that I associate with the county and also Malcolm Marshall. More recently, of course, Shane Warne made a huge impact. They’ve had some wonderful players and continue to do so.

HAMPSHIRE BOWLThe Hampshire Bowl is the newest venue being used at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, having first staged first-class cricket in 2001.

The ground was built as a replacement for Hampshire’s city-centre home of Northland Roads in Southampton and has developed into a popular international venue with spectacular views across the surrounding countryside.

It is located in West End, near Eastleigh approximately 10km north-east of Southampton city centre and close to the M27 motorway.

The ground was designed by architect Sir Michael Hopkins, and the pavilion’s tented roof is reminiscent of the Mound Stand at Lord’s which he also designed.

Along with the cricket, the venue has a hotel, restaurant, golf course and fitness and well-being centre.

The Nursery Ground is adjacent to the main stadium and plays host to second XI and Academy matches.

The Hampshire Bowl’s maiden first-class match was a 124-run victory for the home side over Worcestershire, for whom Graeme Hick scored a century. It was his 112th and the venue was the 44th different ground on which he’d passed three figures.

In 2003, the ground staged its first international, an ODI between South Africa and Zimbabwe as part of a tri-series with England. Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak, who had played for Hampshire in 1985, top-scored for his side in a seven-wicket defeat.

The ground staged five matches in the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy, including the semi-final between Pakistan and eventual winners, the Windies.

The following year, the Hampshire Bowl witnessed the very first T20 international to be played in England – a lively affair that England won by 100 runs after reducing Australia to 31 for seven and dismissing them for 79.

Other white-ball highlights include Martin Guptill’s scintillating 189 not out for New Zealand in an 86-run win over England in 2013. His 155-ball knock was the Black Caps’ highest individual ODI score until Guptill raised the bar with 237 not out in the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup. The result meant England lost a home ODI series for the first time in four years.

Moeen Ali dismissed Ajinkya Rahane and

Virat Kohli to set England on course for a series win over India.

In a 2018 ODI, South Africa needed only 10 runs from the final 10 balls to beat England but fell two runs short.

In 2010 Hampshire became the first county to win the English domestic Twenty20 trophy on their home ground when they defeated Somerset in a thrilling final.

The Hampshire Bowl has staged three Test matches, the first of which was a draw in 2011 between England and Sri Lanka.

England’s 2018 Test against India was the closest so far. Needing 245 to win, India were 123 for three with Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane both well set. But both men fell to Moeen Ali in quick succession and India were dismissed for 184, to give England an unassailable 3-1 series lead.

The county were known for many years as Happy Hampshire for the free-spirited way they approached their cricket.

HAMPSHIRE CRICKET

Ingleby-Mackenzie, who once joked to an overly-serious interviewer that his side’s ‘regime’ dictated that “everyone in bed by breakfast”, proved himself a master tactician, not just a cavalier one.

Ten of Hampshire’s 19 victories that season came as a direct result of third-innings declarations by Ingleby-Mackenzie. The stars of the show were the free-scoring Barbadian opening batsman, Roy Marshall, who scored 2,455 runs, and the unerring Derek Shackleton, whose relentlessly accurate medium pace brought him 153 wickets, including 11 five-wicket hauls.

A dozen years later, in 1973, Hampshire won their second – and most recent – Championship title, captained by Richard Gilliat, and fuelled by the stellar opening partnership of Gordon Greenidge and Barry Richards.

Under the captaincy of the Honourable Lionel Tennyson, grandson of the poet Alfred Tennyson, who led the side in the 1920s and early ‘30s, fun and enjoyment took precedence over on-field success.

Not that Tennyson’s tenure was without note. Far from it. This was the era of Phil Mead, a stately left-handed batsman whose 48,892 first-class runs for the county are the most ever made for one team. In all, Mead, who also played 17 Tests for England, racked up 55,061 runs, the fourth most in the history.

In 1922, against Warwickshire, Hampshire were dismissed for 15 (Mead was unbeaten on six). Yet, they followed on, made 521 in their second innings and won by 155 runs in one of the most remarkable matches ever played.

In the late 1950s, the spirit of adventure was given new life by the debonair captain Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie. Hampshire finished second in the Championship in 1958, his first year in charge, then in 1961 they went one better.

Colin Ingleby-Mackenzie’s regime

dictated “everyone in bed by breakfast”.

The following season, the ferocious Antiguan quick, Andy Roberts, 23, and in his first full season with Hampshire, took 111 wickets at only 13 apiece to take his side to the brink of a title defence. They led the table for most of the season until five days’ play were washed out in their last three matches and Worcestershire pipped them at the post by two points.

Success since then has been intermittent for Hampshire and confined to the limited-overs formats. They won the one-day league twice in the 1970s and then again in 1986.

In the County Championship, they finished runners-up and third twice during the 1980s under the enlightened captaincy of Mark Nicholas, who had some serious weapons at his disposal.

Greenidge was still a force while Malcolm Marshall, who died tragically young in 1999 aged only 41, was one of county cricket’s very finest overseas players. He had a 15-year career with Hampshire, interrupted only by Windies tours to England. In that time he took 826 first-class wickets at an average of 18.

Strangely, Hampshire’s first success in a Lord’s one-day final came in 1988 when both Greenidge and Marshall

were playing for the Windies. Up stepped a South African left-armer, Stephen Jeffries, to take five for 13 from 10 overs and deliver victory over Derbyshire by seven wickets.

There were back-to-back Lord’s final wins in 1991 and 1992. In the first, the trophy was lifted by David Gower, who had recently switched counties from Leicestershire, in the absence of the injured Nicholas. The following year, the man of the match was Robin Smith, the destructive South African-born batsman who became such a hero on the south coast, as indeed he was to a generation of England supporters. His elder brother Chris had paved the way as a very decent opening batsman good enough to play eight Tests for England.

The arrival as captain in 2000 of Shane Warne elevated the profile of Hampshire Cricket, inspired players and supporters alike with a number of impressive finished in the County Championship.

Over the last 10 seasons, the county has become one of the most consistent white-ball sides in the country, winning five trophies including in 2012, the double of T20 and 50-over titles. Leading the way is James Vince, the stylish batsman who has been with the county since his early teens and is now one of the prolific white-ball batsmen around.

James Vince is central to Hampshire’s

white-ball prowess.

MEDIA SERVICESFurther informationIf you have any further questions on media accreditation or match day access please contact the Cricket World Cup 2019 Media Operations team on [email protected].

Media working areas’ opening/closing timings• On match days, the media working

areas will open three hours before the scheduled start of play and will close two hours after the completion of the mixed zone.

• On match days minus one and two, the media working areas will open at 10h00 and close at 18h00 local time ahead of day matches and open at 14h00 and close at 22h00 ahead of day/night matches.

Media accreditationThe media accreditation process for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 ran in two stages.

The first stage (from 8 November 2018 to 14 February 2019) allowed for the written press, photographers and non-rights holding TV and radio broadcasters to apply online for the tournament media accreditation.

The second stage (from 1 to 28 February 2019) allows for the successful media to make requests to attend round-robin matches, as tournament accreditation alone does not provide access to venues on match days.

Requests for the semi-finals and final will be taken once the round-robin matches are complete. Priority will be given to media whose teams will feature in these matches.

To read more about the Media Terms and Conditions, and FAQs on media accreditation, please visit www.cricketworldcup.com/about

Pass collectionMedia can collect their tournament accreditation passes from the accreditation centres located at each match venue.

All passes must be collected in person and you must present photo identification. Accepted forms of identification are passport, national ID card or UK driving licence.

Venue accessThe accreditation pass itself does not automatically entitle media to entry into the ground on a match day. On match days, passes will be scanned at the gate and only those who have been approved for a place at the match will be granted entry.

Media who have been approved for accreditation will be invited to make match day requests in February 2019 and notifications will begin in March. This will all be done via the media accreditation online portal.
