Top 7 reasons that make Lord's The Home of Cricket

4) The Media Centre

Lord's Media Centre is a heavenly place to report cricket from. It is one of the most sophisticated press boxes around the world. The construction price of the media centre is approximately 5 million pounds. Widely called as "The Media Centre", it is also named as "JP Morgan Media Centre". It is also to be noted that SCA stadium at Rajkot has established a similar media centre.

5) The Slope

The significance of the slope

"Slope" is probably the most used word by commentators whenever the Lord's cricket ground hosts a Test Match. The stadium is actually tilted on one side a little bit which makes a lot of significance. The slope is from north end of the ground to the south end of the ground. The difference in depth is 2.5 metres. The outfield is pretty quick on one side of the ground as the ball runs down the slope and the bowlers will get some natural movement off the turf. Also, it will account to some variable bounce which results in the bowler's favour.
