Of all the grounds, Lords is by far the quietest. Too many rules and regs at Lords. No chance the trumpeter will be allowed in, they also have a ban on fancy dress I think too.
It's more Champagne and a picnic hamper is Lords, full of Hooray Henrys and those gimps who wear their hideous MCC bacon and egg suits.
Pitch is usually a batsman's paradise too, and the game usually decided by which set of bowlers handle the slope the better.
As for Kerrigan, he is constantly being picked for England Lions, A tours and performance squads, so if he carries on his County form, he will eventually get his chance, probably in limited overs cricket. Problem is, if Swann misses out, the next man is Tredwell who does a good job for us when called upon.
Swann didn't get his chance till late in his career, so Kerrigan has loads of time yet.
