Video – Adelaide Oval demolition and construction…

Year-long time-lapse captures demolition and reconstruction of Australian cricket ground.

If you’re American, you are excused – There’s nothing for you to see here. If, however, you come from a country where the sound of leather on willow brings back idyllic memories of sunny afternoons, the do we have a treat for you.

In the cricket world, the Adelaide Oval is just about as close to hallowed turf as it is possible to find. And so the demolition and reconstruction of this world-famous sporting venue is a pretty big deal to anyone for whom baseball, basketball and “professional wrestling” are not considered a national sport.

And this video – shot over a 11-month period commencing in March 2012, captures both the demolition and the reconstruction of what will soon be restored to its former glory as a Mecca to cricket fans the world over:
