Test matches at Lords, a special part of the celebration of the famous British summer which is seen out of social and cultural programs- especially in these days Wimbledon, Silverstone, The Open and Escot as well as a new crop of cherry in markets. Playing Tests at Lord’s is still considered a special place for many cricketers for many cricketers. If this is, a glimpse of modernity is also available here for its traditions.

This bell is outside the Bowlers ‘Bar (Bowlers’ Bar of Lord’s Pavilion.
