Known as the โHome of Cricketโ, Lordโs Cricket Ground in England, undoubtedly, is the legendary ground and the haven of the gentlemanโs game.
There is a tradition at Lordโs for a distinguished visitor to ring the large silver bell outside the Bowlerโs Bar of the Pavilion, five minutes before the start of play in a Test Match. This was installed to further make it a unique cricket destination.

Young Kari and Micela Stern were the first to start the tradition, by ringing the 5-minute bell just before the start of the match between Union High School, Graaff-Reinetโs 1st XI and the Old Boys taking place on the Murray Field.
