The Long Room at Lords
The Long Room with its windows overlooking the cricket field, is lined with paintings of famous cricketers and administrators from the 18th century to the 21st. Portraits of modern, or overseas players amount to a tremendous compliment and are restricted to very few personalities. For example, only four Australian cricketers have ever been honored in this way: Sir Donald Bradman, Keith Miller, Victor Trumper and Shane Warne; and of those four, only one has played international cricket in the last 50 years. Australian Justin Langer, described walking through the Long Room like "being bearhugged by an invisible spirit". Players walk through the Long Room on their way from the dressing rooms to the ground. The walk from dressing room to cricket field at Lord's is notoriously long and complex. On his Test debut in 1975, David Steele got lost and ended up in the pavilion's basement toilets.
