Lord's Hosts Its Historic 150th Test Match

Lord's Cricket Ground in London is hosting its 150th Test match this week. Although Test matches were played at Melbourne, Sydney, the Oval, and Old Trafford before Lord's held its first in July 1884, the London venue is the first to reach this 150-match sesquicentenary.

The Melbourne Cricket Ground sits second on the list with 118 Tests. Lord's has reached the landmark largely due to the advantage of hosting two Test matches a year throughout the current century. milkshakeslot.lat
