When I arrived at Lord's on my wedding day, he was lurking** in the Writing Room (which is (a) the room we originally looked at for the ceremony and (b) just across the corridor from the Long Room where we actually had the ceremony). Alternative explanation: it was pure coincidence. *I think he was actually being interviewed for TV.

AndyS Jul 2023 1:05pm, 28 Jul 2023 2,216 posts	Quote Pin AndyS Very few non-England players have played 5 or more tests at the Oval. This is Smith's 5th - the 4th being the recent Test Championship match against India. If he can knock off another 500 or so, Harmy's record is in danger.
