Michael Atherton's guide to the iconic portraits at Lord's

Join Michael Atherton as he takes you on a private tour of the portraiture in one of the most iconic pavilions in world cricket.

Former England skipper and current Sky Sports commentator Atherton was kindly granted special access by the MCC to the Long Room and its surrounds at Lord's to bring you this stunning glimpse at a unique collection of artwork.

Simply click on the video above to step back in time and have Atherton as your guide.

Any member of the public can take a tour of the Lord's pavilion on non-match days and admire portraits ranging from WG Grace, probably the most famous man in Victorian England and one of the greatest cricketers the nation has ever produced, to players of a more recent vintage.

Get a taste of what the current England players see in the stairwell as they go past the likes of Sir Ian Botham, Alec Stewart, Atherton himself - and a rather grumpy looking Nasser Hussain - on the way to the hallowed turf.

As well as individual portraits of great players and England captains there are terrific group portraits too, including the outstanding team of the 1950s.

Plus Atherton reveals which member of the Sky Sports commentary team had the honour of walking past his own portrait while still playing and also dislcoses his favourite likeness.
