Bowling - England - Honours Boards - History

"To be there with a five-for it does mean a lot. The last Test Match for me at Lord's is obviously a very special one." - Andrew Flintoff

"Lord's is the Mecca of cricket; it has an atmosphere unlike any other ground in the world." - Derek Underwood

Bowling - England

By taking five wickets in a Test match innings a bowler has their name added to the Lord's Honours Boards. There is a special section for those few who manage to take ten wickets in a match - a feat achieved by only 23 people in over 200 years at Lord's. Of those, 13 played for England and 10 for visiting teams.
