5 famous cricket stadiums in the world

#1 Lord's, London, England

Lord's is considered as the Mecca of cricket

Called as the Mecca of Cricket, Lord's is the most famous cricket ground in the world. Considered to be the home of cricket, Lord's has a rich heritage. The dominant building, called as the Lord's balcony, was built in 1890 and still one of world sport's most recognisable structures.

Playing a Test match at Lord's is still a dream for many cricketers across the globe. Getting his/her name registered on the Lord's honour board is an honour for any cricketer. Typical to any English ground, it has beautiful lush green outfield and a pitch that helps the seamers. The pitch even assists the batsmen once the ball gets a bit older.

The Lord's, which has a seating capacity of 30,000, hosted its first test match in 1884. Graham Gooch holds the record for most number of Test runs (2015 runs) at this venue and Marcus Trescothick has the highest number of ODI runs (595 runs). Jimmy Anderson leads the list in Tests with 81 wickets while Daren Gough has the most number of ODI wickets, 27, at this venue.
