Rainy opening at Lord's as Australians watch England test start
A fragmented eyewitness account from Lord's describes crowds gathering from Wellington Road to the turnstiles, a damp drizzle delaying the 11:30 start, and ground crews in red coats working as spectators endure weather. Conversation turns to a Chinese tale of a religious ceremony at a place called the Lord's and a meadow spectacle with black white garments and red globes.
