1947: Denis Compton and Bill Edrich put on 370 for England against South Africa

1947: Denis Compton and Bill Edrich put on 370 for England against South Africa

The first full post-war summer of cricket in 1946 was spoiled by wet weather. There followed one of the most bitterly cold winters in living memory and great misery as the realities of post-war austerity and continued rationing hit home. Meanwhile in Australia, Wally Hammond...

1993: England beat New Zealand in the Women's World Cup Final

1993: England beat New Zealand in the Women's World Cup Final

The fifth Women’s World Cup was the second to be held in England. It very nearly didn’t happen at all. Had it not been for a last minute grant of £90,000 from the Foundation for Sport and the Arts, the tournament would probably have been cancelled. With women’s cricket still...

2005: Australia's Glenn McGrath takes his 500th Test wicket

2005: Australia's Glenn McGrath takes his 500th Test wicket

Glenn McGrath followed Sir Richard Hadlee in becoming the second visiting bowler to take a ‘five-for’ on three consecutive Test appearances at Lord’s. When you consider that he only played three Test Matches at the Home of Cricket, the achievement becomes even more impressiv...

2010: Jonathan Trott and Stuart Broad put on 332 for England against Pakistan

2010: Jonathan Trott and Stuart Broad put on 332 for England against Pakistan

There can’t have been too many occasions in Test history when a side has batted first, slumped to 102 for 7 and still ended up winning by an innings. Unusually, Lord’s hosted the last match of a four Test series between England and Pakistan in 2010 and it was a match that we...

1945: Keith Miller scores two centuries in the 'Victory Tests'

1945: Keith Miller scores two centuries in the 'Victory Tests'

The “Golden Nugget”, as Keith Miller was known, was one of the leading all-rounders of the 1940s and 1950s. 170 wickets at 22.97 in 55 Tests for Australia combined with 2,958 runs at 36.97 give a clear indication of Miller’s capacity with bat and ball. He formed a lethal new...

2017: Anya Shrubsole takes match-winning 6-46 in the women's World Cup Final

2017: Anya Shrubsole takes match-winning 6-46 in the women's World Cup Final

Anya Shrubsole was clearly a bowler to watch from her earliest performances in the England team. Making her debut in both T20 and One-Day Internationals in 2008, she won the award for Most Promising Young Women’s Cricketer at the end of the season. Just over three years late...

1974: Derek Underwood takes match figures of 13-71 for England

1974: Derek Underwood takes match figures of 13-71 for England

A ‘slow’ left-arm spinner of more like medium pace, Derek Underwood’s international career lasted from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. He was the leading spin bowler in England for two decades, forming a deadly combination with wicket-keeper Alan Knott both at Test and cou...

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

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

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...
