It is the home ground of Western Australia's domestic cricket team which is currently known as Western Warriors. The W.A.C.A ground has been home of sports including AFL, rugby (both codes) and soccer, but its real fame is as a cricket ground. It was not part of Australia's main cricket community. It is established in 1890 but the first Test match was played at the ground in 1970 between Australia and England. Australian great Greg S Chappell and English P Lever debut in this venue. The pitch at the WACA has historically been regarded as one of the quickest and bounciest in the world. As characteristics in afternoon sea-breezes regularly pass the ground that have historically made the ground an attractive place for pace and swing bowlers. Moreover this pitch is helpful for spinners as it has flattened out and suited batsmen more. In 2002, the ground was redeveloped and its capacity reduced to make it more economical. It has 24,500 people carrying capacity including temporary seating.
This cricket ground has many records in its shortage of life. Now, both India and Australia teams are making many records in cricket world. So, obviously we can see many records in this venue.
