Lord’s is followed by Australia’s Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), which has hosted 118 Tests; Sydney Cricket Ground (114); The Oval (108); and England’s Old Trafford (86). Other big venues like Adelaide Oval (84), Headingley (82), Basin Reserve (70), Gabba (68), and Trent Bridge (67) are also far behind Lord’s in Test match numbers.
