Grainville, St Saviour, Jersey

Grainville Cricket Ground serves as the home venue for St Saviour Cricket Club in Jersey, representing one of the island's established cricket facilities. The ground has developed into a regular host for domestic T20 cricket, providing an intimate setting for local and regional matches. The pitch at Grainville presents challenging conditions for batting, as evidenced by the notably low average first-innings score of just 109.38 runs across eight T20 matches. This batting-friendly reputation is further reinforced by the fact that teams winning the toss and choosing to bat first have achieved victory in only 25% of matches, suggesting the surface may offer assistance to bowlers or become easier to bat on as matches progress. These statistics indicate that chasing teams hold a significant advantage at this venue. The ground maintains a traditional club cricket atmosphere, with spectators able to enjoy matches in close proximity to the action. The compact nature of the facility creates an engaging environment where every boundary and wicket is appreciated by the local cricket community. While Grainville may not have hosted high-profile international fixtures, it has established itself as a reliable venue for Jersey's domestic cricket scene. The ground's challenging playing conditions have contributed to competitive matches, with the low-scoring nature of games often producing exciting finishes. The venue continues to play an important role in developing cricket talent in Jersey and maintaining the sport's presence in the Channel Islands.
