All eyes are on Lord's this week-end, for the second Test match began there yesterday. Two aspects of Lord's are shown in our illustration top left, the members' stand and the fashionable crowd at the Eton-Harrow match. On the right is a picture of the crowd at the Test match against New Zealand in 1931. It indicates how much stand accommodation is provided and gives point to recent complaint that provincial grounds are not adequately equipped for the enormous patronage that Test cricket receives. Below is a contrast between the old and present-day styles of dress. The elegant gentlemen in the top hats and trousers tight at the bottom are the English eleven of 1847. The others are the present Australian side taking the field in their first match.
