Hi All,
    From "Test Match Grounds Of The World"
Jullundur
Burlton Park
Burlton Park staged its only Test match during the same 1983-84 series
against Pakistan which provided Test outings for Nagpur and Bangalore.
It made sense to have a Test there as Jullundur is in the Punjab, the
land is that divided between India and Pakistan. However, given the
weather, early morning mist and a very early dusk it is doubtful whether
Jullundur can often provide a full day's play. In looks it is like most
Indian stadia: a large expanse of playing surface surrounded by concrete
stands. For the Test against Pakistan the stands had not been finished. 
A day was lost due to rain and this almost inevitably condemned the
match to a draw.
Regards,                                    O  o//,.  /
