1983: India win the men's World Cup

1983: India win the men's World Cup

If ever there was a match that changed cricket, it took place at Lord’s on 25 June 1983. The third men’s World Cup Final was expected to be a walkover. Holders West Indies were the undisputed masters of World Cricket and had never lost a single World Cup match before the tou...

1928: The Ashes Urn is presented to MCC

1928: The Ashes Urn is presented to MCC

The Ashes Urn is 10.5 centimetres tall and weighs 124.8 grams. Nobody can be sure where it originally came from, or what is really inside it. But we can be certain what it represents. The idea of the Ashes originated with England’s first defeat by Australia on English soil,...

2010: Tamim Iqbal scores 103 for Bangladesh against England

2010: Tamim Iqbal scores 103 for Bangladesh against England

Bangladesh arrived for their second Test tour of England without much of a fanfare. Ten years of Test cricket had brought the country limited success and their only previous visit to England as a Test nation had seen the hosts warm up for the 2005 Ashes series with two wins ...

2002: India beat England in a dramatic NatWest Series Final

2002: India beat England in a dramatic NatWest Series Final

A target of 326 to win a 50-over One-Day International is nothing extraordinary today. But in 2002 such a run-chase seemed beyond all but the most inspired of batting line-ups. Only twice before had a team made over 300 in an ODI at Lord’s, and one of those had been in a 60-...

1993: The MCC Foundation is established

1993: The MCC Foundation is established

The MCC Foundation is the Club’s charitable arm and was established in 1993 with the aim of transforming lives through cricket. The Foundation works both in the UK and overseas, offering coaching and facilities to enable young cricketers to access the game and optimise their...

1950: West Indies win a Lord's Test for the first time

1950: West Indies win a Lord's Test for the first time

Cricket, lovely cricket! At Lord’s where I saw it. Not many cricket matches in history have inspired music, but the 1950 Lord’s Test between England and West Indies was one of them. The famous calypso by Lord Beginner (Egbert Moore) was written in its aftermath, as jubi...

1978: Ian Botham scores 108 and takes 8-34 for England against Pakistan

1978: Ian Botham scores 108 and takes 8-34 for England against Pakistan

Most cricketers would consider it a great achievement to earn their name on the Lord’s Honours Boards but few have managed it on their first appearance. To do so twice on your first appearance at Lord’s, for both batting and bowling, seems like showing off, but much of Ian...

2019: Tim Murtagh takes 5-13 for Ireland against England

2019: Tim Murtagh takes 5-13 for Ireland against England

When Ireland arrived at Lord’s for their first ever Test match at the Home of Cricket, they couldn’t have had a better man to lead their bowling attack than Tim Murtagh. In a 19-year county career for Surrey and Middlesex, Murtagh had taken 291 first-class wickets on the Gro...

1998: The new Grand Stand is completed

1998: The new Grand Stand is completed

Like the Pavilion, the current Grand Stand at Lord’s is the third to stand on the site. The first was opened in 1867, its construction funded by a private syndicate of MCC Members from whom the Club bought the stand two years later. The stand was 175ft long by 30ft high, con...

1987: Gordon Greenidge's century for MCC earns him a place on the home honours board

1987: Gordon Greenidge's century for MCC earns him a place on the home honours board

In almost a century and a half of Test cricket at Lord’s, only one man has scored a hundred for both home and away teams and had their name inscribed in the Honours Boards in both dressing rooms. That the man is Gordon Greenidge should perhaps be no great surprise. While Gre...
