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

6) The Long Room

The players walk down from the balcony to the ground through this Long Room. Described as "the most evocative four walls in world cricket", it has paintings of some great cricketers through different centuries. The MCC members and their guests are the only people who can enter this room. When players walk down the long room to take the field, fans stand up and applaud the players as a symbol of respect.

7) The MCC Museum and Library

The MCC museum is one of the oldest sports museums around the world. It has a rich collection of cricket memorabilia. From the Ashes Urn to the cricket kits used by famous players, it has everything that a cricket fan will drool for. It also has the Brian Johnston Memorial Theatre, in which historical cricket videos are screened. The MCC library has a large collection of publications that are related to cricket.
