The 1801 census showed the city’s population as only 1,000 but by the end of the 19th century it had grown to 170,000 and today it is the 10th largest city in the UK with around 450,000 residents.

The second Marquess of Bute helped transform Cardiff at the end of the 18th century by building the docks at Butetown, from where the vast reserves of coal mined in the valleys of South Wales were transported around the world.

Because of this, Butetown, or Tiger Bay, as it was also known, developed into one of the most diverse communities in the United Kingdom with migrants from more than 40 countries as far afield as Norway, Somalia and the islands of the Caribbean.

That area, now known as Cardiff Bay, has been transformed in recent years and is now home to impressive architecture, public buildings, open spaces and Mermaid Quay with a host of bars, restaurants and shops.

One of those public buildings is the Senedd, the main building of the National Assembly for Wales, which came into being following the 1997 referendum in favour of devolved political power.

Bute Park, donated to the city along with the Castle in 1947, is a major city landmark, stretching from Cardiff Castle along the River Taff to Sophia Gardens, the location of Cardiff Wales Stadium, the home of Glamorgan Cricket.

WELCOME TO CARDIFFFrom the site of a Roman fort in 75AD to a thriving, buzzing capital city in 2019, Cardiff has come a long way.

One of the many appealing aspects

of Cardiff is its compactness.

City Hall

One of the many appealing aspects of Cardiff (or Caerdydd in Welsh), which was declared the first capital of Wales (Cymru) in 1955, is its compactness.

Cardiff Wales Stadium is only 2km from Cardiff Central Station and can be reached by foot along the River Taff past one of the city’s other sporting totems. The Principality Stadium, which opened in 2000 as the Millennium Stadium, has hosted concerts, FA Cup finals, rugby league cup finals, cricket under the closed roof, and football internationals.

But it is most famous as home to the Wales national rugby union team. Rugby remains a fundamental part of the Welsh DNA and the passion for the sport in Wales is matched only by its following in New Zealand.

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.

MY CITY GUIDEHEATHER KNIGHTEngland women’s captain

What do you like about Cardiff?I spent four years there at university exploring the coffee, food and probably the nightlife! I also trained a lot at the stadium. Cardiff is a place I really like. It’s compact and everything is within walking distance. You have the River Taff and the iconic stadiums. The cricket ground is right by Bute Park, which is lovely to walk through. On big match days, whether it’s rugby or cricket, there’s a real buzz.

What are your favourite places to eat and drink in and around Cardiff?The Potted Pig (www.thepottedpig.com) was my favourite restaurant when I lived there – it’s in an old underground bank vault that’s been converted into a restaurant and gin bar. There are a lot of nice cafés but my favourite is Milk and Sugar (three city-centre branches; www.milkandsugarplease.com). I like Mint and Mustard (www.mintandmustard.com) in the north of the city for Indian food and also Chai Street (www.chaistreet.com); three locations).

What else does the city have to offer?I’d recommend the Castle which you can go into and Bute Park. It’s really good for shopping and St David’s is massive. Cardiff Bay is really nice and has loads of restaurants.

Did you venture out of the city?I used to cycle along the River Taff and if you want to go really far afield you can go out towards Brecon Beacons and into the valleys. There’s also Garth Hill. I went to Barry Island a few times because I’m a fan of Gavin and Stacey.

What are your favourite memories of Cardiff Wales Stadium?I’ve only played there once, a T20 international against Australia in 2015. I scored one not out but it was the winning run! I took my university mates to T20 games there and they loved it and have come to watch me play quite a bit since.

Who are your favourite Glamorgan cricket personalities?Jimmy Allenby, who used to bowl to me in the nets; Mark Wallace, who was captain then; and Graham Wagg.

CARDIFF WALES STADIUM

An Ashes thriller, an Ashraful epic and two semi-finals

1716

CARDIFF WALES STADIUMCardiff Wales Stadium may be a relatively new venue, compared to others being used in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, but it has plenty of rich international pedigree.

Last pair Jimmy Anderson and Monty Panesar batted out 11.3 overs to secure a draw for England at the start of the 2009 Ashes.

Its first international match was in the ICC Cricket World Cup 1999 when New Zealand beat Australia by five wickets.

In 2009, it became the 100th Test match venue when it kicked off an Ashes series. The match ended in dramatic fashion as England’s last pair Jimmy Anderson and Monty Panesar batted out the last 11.3 overs to secure a draw against Australia.

The ground also hosted the first England-Australia Test in 2015 and, in between, another one that ended dramatically. In 2011, England’s Test against Sri Lanka looked to have been ruined by rain until the touring side were bowled out remarkably for 82 in under two hours on the final afternoon.

It was the scene of Bangladesh’s memorable five-wicket ODI victory over Australia in 2005 in which Mohammad Ashraful scored a century.

Cardiff Wales Stadium has also been used as one of three venues for the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013 and 2017. It has hosted semi-finals in both tournaments, the first when eventual winners India comfortably got past Sri Lanka by eight wickets with Ishant Sharma player of the match. Then in 2017, Pakistan, who also went on to lift the trophy, while sweeping aside England by eight wickets, thanks to their brilliant bowling display. Hasan Ali was player of the match.

18 19

In 2017, Pakistan swept England aside to reach

the ICC Champions Trophy semi-final with Hasan Ali

player of the match.

Sophia Gardens, as the ground was known for many years, was first used by Glamorgan in 1967 when they moved from Cardiff Arms Park.

The ground takes its name from the wife of the second Marquess of Bute, whose family owned the land on which the recreation grounds were laid out during the 1850s.

The first first-class match at the ground between Glamorgan and Tiger Pataudi’s touring India side was badly rain-affected but still notable for a five-wicket haul from the great spinner, Erapalli Prasanna.

In 1969, Pakistan legend Majid Khan scored 156 out of a total of only 265 to help Glamorgan to 147 runs victory over Worcestershire that secured their second County Championship title.

During the 2007 season, the old ground was redeveloped into a new stadium, with a capacity of almost 16,000, state-of-the-art player facilities, modern pavilion, media centre and new drainage system.

Robert Croft, the former spin bowler, equated playing for Glamorgan to playing rugby for Wales, while representing England equated to being selected for the British and Irish Lions, the touring rugby union side that pits the best of British against the top southern hemisphere nations every four years.

GLAMORGAN CRICKET

The club had been formed in 1888 at a meeting in the Angel Hotel, which is still a notable landmark near Cardiff Castle and the Principality Stadium.

Until the 1960s, Glamorgan’s home ground was Cardiff Arms Park, more famous as the old home of Welsh rugby. But, they also played widely through south and west Wales, notably at St Helen’s in Swansea, which was the site of Garry Sobers’ six sixes in an over for Nottinghamshire off Glamorgan’s Malcolm Nash.

“We weren’t only playing for Glamorgan, we were playing for a nation,” said the late, great Don Shepherd, whose fast off-breaks brought him 2,218 first-class wickets at an average of 21, yet remarkably no caps for England.

In 1997, the governing body of English cricket, the Test and County Cricket Board, became not just the England Cricket Board but the England and Wales Cricket Board.

Appropriately enough, later that year, Glamorgan lifted the County Championship for only the third time in their history and the first since 1969.

Before Durham in 1992, Glamorgan were the last team to enter the County Championship. Their admission in 1921 was 22 years after Worcestershire who joined in 1899.

“We weren’t only playing for Glamorgan, we were playing for a nation,” said the late, great Don Shepherd.

2524

In 1993, aged 41, Viv Richards (pictured with

team-mate Hugh Morris) helped Glamorgan to their

first trophy since 1969.

Swansea also played host to two famous victories by Glamorgan over the touring Australians in 1964 – the county’s first ever win over them – and then again in 1968. The first victory, by only 36 runs, was sealed in front of a 20,000 crowd at St Helen’s and was a triumph for the spinners, the aforementioned Shepherd, who took nine wickets, and left-armer Jim Pressdee who took ten.

St Helen’s is still on Glamorgan’s fixture card but these days the county also takes the game to north Wales, playing matches at Colwyn Bay, just along the north coast from the holiday destination of Llandudno.

The county’s first Championship came in 1948, 27 years after they joined the competition. The captain was Wilf Wooller, an imposing figure who had been educated at Cambridge University, played rugby for Wales and was a Japanese prisoner of war during World War II.

The man who orchestrated the 1997 triumph was Duncan Fletcher, the former captain of Zimbabwe whose under-stated, inscrutable and shrewd coaching would later make such an impact on England cricket, before he became coach of India.

Integral on the field to that victory was Waqar Younis, the Pakistan fast bowler and more recently coach, whose toe-crushing, swing bowling brought him 68 wickets at an average of 22.

Waqar was just the latest in a line of international stars who graced Sophia Gardens, including Majid Khan, Ravi Shastri, Javed Miandad and Viv Richards.

Richards is more readily associated with his time at Somerset but he still made a lasting mark at the county. In 1993, aged 41, he was not out at the end of a one-day league decider against Kent that brought Glamorgan their first trophy of any kind since that Championship win in 1969.

The 1997 team was also full of local heroes. Wickets were taken by seamers, Steve Watkin and Darren Thomas, and spinner Croft, while runs in abundance were scored by Matthew Maynard and openers Steve James, now a journalist, and Hugh Morris, who is the current CEO of Glamorgan Cricket.

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 mediaoperations@cwc19.co.uk.

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.
