Talk:Lord's

message: Lord's typically hosts the first Test of a rubber, such as The Ashes and the second One-Day match of an English home series.
I think this is not true. For major series, Lord's usually host the second Test. This season is an exception. Tintin 06:57, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lord's and the first Test 

message: Not once on this page is mentioned in any detail the famous pavilion and long room, nor is there a photo. This should be covered (especially over details of more modern stands). Oli 12:43, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Lord's pavilion

message: No mention of MCC matches at Lords. And in general there needs to be much more info on the MCC on this page, with reference to the Pavillion, for example, and the Library and Real-Tennis and Squash Court. Some more information abou records at Lords may be of use as well.

replies: text: There is a small section about the pavilion in the article and it points you to Long Room as a separate article.  Admittedly, the article is a long way from full development which is why it has been given a start-class rating above.  ---BlackJack | talk page 08:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The history section is too incomplete. Founder Thomas Lord and the great history of the greatest cricket ground should  be mentioned.

message: Is the cricket ground in St John's Wood or Lisson Grove? Simply south 10:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Whether or not it's strictly accurate I wouldn't know, but traditionally it has always been thought of as being in St John's Wood. Lisson Grove is rather obscure. I doubt that many non-locals have even heard of it. I certainly hadn't. JH 18:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Inasmuch as you can firmly define the borders of any London localities, St John's Wood (and Lord's cricket ground) is north of St John's Wood Road and Lisson Grove is south of it. Russ London 08:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Righto, I've added a few more images as well as mentioning that Lord's is the headquarters of the ECC. I'll get to work on researching more of the ground's history a bit later. Cenobite 18:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the source for the 8 ft slope across the ground? I was told by the guide on the tour of the ground that it was 6 feet something. Epeeist smudge 12:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Slope 

message: From the article - "Personal achievements by cricketers in Test matches at the ground are recognised with the names of century makers and of bowlers taking 5 wickets in an innings, or 10 wickets in a match, being inscribed on the honours boards in the home and away dressing rooms." I hate to state the obvious but you can't take 10 in a match without taking 5 in an innings. So, is the 10 somehow noted differently to a five for? Does the board note the actual score and/or figures or is it just a name and date? I'm not sure this info is needed for the article.... I'd just like to know! --LiamE 01:15, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It certainly does, thank you. The 10 fors do in fact go up in both sections. --LiamE 11:44, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

message: :"Bowls, tennis, archery and several other sports have been played at Lord's in the past, but never rugby or football out of principle."
I think the "principle" here needs some explanation. I imagine that rugby and football would wreck the grass more than the other sports, but a "principle" sounds like a cultural concern rather than a practical one. The statement needs a reference, anyhow. Mtford 04:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Never rugby or football out of principle? 

message: I don't think that Lord's deserves this title. If you ask me, it should go to Eden Gardens or the MCG. 28,000 capacity is next to nothing, I can name half a dozen grounds in the subcontinenet (one of the major hubs of cricket) that have a 50,000 + capacity.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.227.156.156 (talk) 11:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes but Lords is still the home of cricket as it was one of the earliest grounds, and contains many of the accolades of cricket, such as the actual ashes urn and so on. Remember this is for discussing the article not the topic :) --SGGH speak! 21:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The idea of the 'home of cricket' being in India or Australia is fairly ridiculous, since the game originated in neither. 86.21.225.156 (talk) 22:48, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Noting this here before I forget to do so again! There isn't a single mention of the Nursery Ground in this article, which surprises me somewhat. Of course, as it's hosted one first class match in its own right (MCC v Yorks, 1903) in theory it qualifies for its own WP article anyway! I do think it should be mentioned somewhere, though.
