"You see the names of the guys that have taken five wickets in an innings, ten wickets in a match and scored a hundred. All around you is history." - Glenn McGrath

Bowling - Visitors

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.
