Lewry at Lord's is no fantasy!
He's played there for Sussex against Middlesex, yet has never otherwise been there, even to watch a match.
Last week, he related how Sussex reached Lord's in 1993, the year he signed for them straight from Goring in the Sussex Invitation League. No Sussex Invitation League player had ever been offered a county contract. He was in the 2nd XI who lost their Bain Clarkson Final to Leicester at Grace Road the following day.
