Five surprising names on the Lord's Honours Board

Mike Gatting

Mike Gatting is well known for being the victim of Shane Warne's ball of the century at Old Trafford in Manchester in 1993. But, the bowler who bowled the ball is not a part of the Honours Board while the victim somehow managed to get his name in it.

Gatting, the veteran of 79 Test matches for England, has scored 4409 runs with the help of 10 centuries. But, in spite of playing 12 matches at Lord's, the right-hander never scored a century for England as his best for the Poms there was 79.

But, his 179 for Marylebone Cricket Club against Rest of the World XI in 1987 helped him get his name on the Lord's Honours Board. Though it wasn't a Test match, the organisers decided to honour the top performers in that match by putting their names in the board.
