2021: The new Compton and Edrich Stands are completed

The original Compton and Edrich stands opened in 1991 and replaced the ‘G’ and ‘H’ stands which had stood at the Nursery End since 1924. G and H were designed by Sir Herbert Baker, architect of the second Grand Stand and the Grace Gates. Known as the ‘free seats’ they became...

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...

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...

1984: Gordon Greenidge scores 214* to help West Indies beat England

1984: Gordon Greenidge scores 214* to help West Indies beat England

West Indies fans termed it the 'blackwash' summer. The year that Clive Lloyd’s West Indies confirmed their status as one of the greatest teams ever to have played the game.. Looking back, it seems hard to credit that England ever thought they might have a chance. True, they ...

1968: The new Tavern Stand is completed

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...

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...

1868: Aboriginal Cricketers are the first team from Australia to play at Lord's

The All-aboriginal team was the first Australian cricket team to tour the UK and the first visit by Indigenous Australians to gain widespread awareness in this country. The tour began in front of 7,000 people at the Oval and their displays of `traditional skills’, put on bef...

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...

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...

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...
