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...

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

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...

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...

1877: Middlesex County Cricket Club make Lord's their home ground

1877: Middlesex County Cricket Club make Lord's their home ground

Ever since its formation in 1864, Middlesex County Cricket Club had struggled to find a permanent home. Occasional matches had been played at Lord’s in the early years but the club seemed to prefer using the rather more rustically-named Cattle Market Ground in Islington. Fro...

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...
