Somewhere in the Lord’s archives no doubt there are architects plans for such.

Meanwhile, after rain stopped play yesterday, today it’s reign stopped play, at both the Oval and Lord’s.

It’s Lord’s. We honestly just assumed there was a viewing area specifically for people in palanquins.

It all seemed so appropriate this evening. There I was, at Lord’s, playing that most regal game, real tennis, when none other than Mr Johnny Friendly himself (of King Cricket match reports passim, eg https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/anyone-for-real-tennis-england-v-new-zealand-match-report/2015/10/12/

…solemnly informed me snd my opponent from the sedans gallery that, unlike rain, the reign had come to an end.

You could arguably finesse it a little, but yes, that.

I see. So instead of saying, “Lord’s’s collection of novelty cricket bats”, I should say instead, “There is sand everywhere, everywhere I tell you!”
