2) The Balcony

Ganguly's shirt wave? Kapil Dev lifting the World Cup? The English team with the Ashes trophy? There are far too many pictures that are etched in memory when one thinks of the Lord's Balcony. Teammates and support staff shouting out from the Lord's Balcony whenever their player reaches a milestone is a scene to be cherished. Only the MCC members are allowed inside the balcony, who need to follow a proper dress code including an appropriate tie and pair of shoes for both male and female members and guests.

3) Scorecard for Sale

The scorecard of the match you just witnessed at the home of cricket is a great souvenir to take home. The iconic stadium starts the sale of printed scorecards just about 10 minutes after the match ends. It costs only 1 pound and the fans can get as many copies as they want. This tradition has been carried on for more than four decades and the fans stand in the queue patiently for their copies.
