There's something wonderfully counter-intuitive about MCC members starting to queue at 3am before Day 1 of the Lords Test.
After all, they would all have had to wait at least twenty five years to join the 'blood and pus' brigade (cf John Arlott) - paying an initial fee, an annual retainer to stay on the waiting list and then an annual fee once the actuarial Gods had granted them membership. Finally joining the club gives you free access to probably the best viewing position in world cricket -
So to then queue up seems totally insane.
And why didn't any of them get their butler to queue for them?
