1998: Sachin Tendulkar scores 125 in W.G. Grace 150th Anniversary match

1998: Sachin Tendulkar scores 125 in W.G. Grace 150th Anniversary match

One of the greatest anomalies about the Lord’s Honours Boards is the absence from them of one of cricket’s greatest ever batsmen. In five Test appearances at Lord’s, Sachin Tendulkar never got past 37 and his average of 21.66 does scant justice to his huge talent and vast re...

2014: Kumar Sangakkara scores Test and ODI centuries at Lord's within a fortnight

Kumar Sangakkara looked like becoming one of those great players who never made it onto the Test Honours Boards at Lord’s before striking 147 on his final Test appearance at the Ground in 2014. His last two Test Matches at Lord’s saw him play as a batsman only, but on his fi...

2018: Alastair Cook plays his 26th Lord's Test

Sir Alastair Cook’s 26 Test Matches at Lord’s are a record at the Home of Cricket and the second highest total for a player’s appearances on a single ground in all Test cricket. Only Mahela Jayawardene’s 27 outings at the Sinhalese Sports Club ground in Colombo, Sri Lanka ra...

1968: The new Tavern Stand is completed

Thomas Lord knew when he opened his first cricket ground in 1787 that there were two main facilities – apart from the cricket - he needed to offer: a pavilion and a pub. They were the first two buildings on the Ground and the absence of a public house was one of the main rea...

1999: Neil Johnson scores 132 not out for Zimbabwe against Australia

1999: Neil Johnson scores 132 not out for Zimbabwe against Australia

Lord’s has not always been the happiest of grounds for Zimbabwe. Two Test visits to the Home of Cricket brought two heavy defeats by an innings, and two One-Day Internationals also saw them fall short. But their performance in the first of these, on what was Zimbabwe’s first...

1974: England beat India by the largest margin in a Lord's Test

1974: England beat India by the largest margin in a Lord's Test

India arrived in England for their 1974 tour as a team that was coming of age in international cricket. The ebullient captaincy of ‘Tiger’ Pataudi in the late 1960s together with the emergence of their four-pronged spin attack made them formidable opponents on home soil. Und...

1977: First Indoor School at Lord's officially opened

Lord’s has witnessed more than 200 years of cricket. For more than a century, it has also been home to formal coaching programmes, helping develop the stars of tomorrow as well as offering practice facilities to those of today. It all began in 1901, when the Club found itsel...
