Do you know what is similarly between Sachin and Gavaskar at Lord’s. both are one of the famous names missing from the Lord's honors’ board, but apparently Sachin Tendulkar has scored a century on the ground. Indian legendry batsman famousl...y failed to score more than 37 during five Test appearances at Lord's and he didn't pass 30 in three one-day internationals there either. But he did make 125 on the ground in 1998, for the Rest of the World against MCC in a special one-day charity match in memory of Diana, (Princess of Wales, who had died in a car crash the previous year). That doesn't quite get him on to the honors’ board, though. Sunil Gavaskar, has also failed to reach three figures in five Test appearances at Lord's with his highest Test score there was 59 but his name is on the honors’ board, for an innings of 188, also for a Rest of the World XI, against MCC, in a match played in August 1987 to celebrate the bicentenary of MCC's formation. It was a five-day game played with all the trappings of a Test match, and although it doesn't count in the official records, MCC have included performances in it on their honors’ boards.
