The famous Lord´s cricket ground in London. Lord's has long been seen as the 'Home of Cricket' and the game's spiritual 'headquarters'. But its importance is not merely historical. In practice it remains, to this day, perhaps the most important single place in world cricket. Lord's is also the home ground of the Middlesex County Cricket club. Its owner, Marylebone Cricket Club, remains the guardian of both the Laws and the Spirit of Cricket, and MCC sides (which play around 500 games a year) perform a key role in promoting cricket - in Britain and elsewhere. Lord's is the venue for some of the best cricket in the world. It hosts N-power Test matches and NatWest-sponsored one-day internationals plus most of Middlesex's home games.

  • nice ground....
  • SOURAV GANGULY RULES HERE
  • Whoever dubbed this the home of cricket must have had his head up his arse. I doubt Aussies, Indians, Pakistanis or even Yorkshiremen or Lancastrians would make such a preposterous comment.
  • To arup, I have to disagree Marylebone Cricket Club owns this famous cricket ground not Sourav Ganguly. I don't think Sourav Ganguly will want to stay much in the UK in general probably because the weather here tends to be poor. As I have been to India myself, the weather over there is much more desirable. :-)
