Buro Happold and team , great job done . The new stand gels with other stands . I wish Sir Pelham Warner was with us today to see this newly built stands . He was particularly not happy with one section of the Lord's stand . Lord's looks great now.
Let us not forget that Denis Compton made 47 of his 123 hundred at Lord's.Also Compton missed 1938- 39 South Africa tour because he was under contract to play football for Arsenal . He proved his football skills were so great by kicking the ball with his legs to run out great Indian batsman Vijay Merchant in one of the Test match . Bill Edrich will always be remembered for his 189 against South Africa at Lord's 1947. My salute to Middlesex twins .
