Marcus Harris made his first hundred at Lord’s two years after being abused by fans

Last time Marcus Harris was at Lord’s he was copping it from the crowd but the former Test opener made a statement on his return.

Marcus Harris has knocked up a “bucket list” achievement with a century at Lord’s two years after he was “abused by a lot of committee members” with the Australian Test squad during the 2023 Ashes.

In 2023, after his teammates were abused as they walked off the ground following Alex Carey’s infamous run-out of Jonny Bairstow, Harris, in “The Test” documentary replied to those abusing him as he sat on the fence that “you made the f’n rules”.

But returning, making his debut for Lancashire as the English county cricket season began, Harris, a perennial run scorer in the competition, smashed an unbeaten 134 at the home of cricket.

Asked about his record at the ground after his big innings, Harris put laughed.

“I’ve played one game ... and been abused by a lot of committee members!”

"Definitely a bucket list thing and pretty special..." ✨💯

“To get a hundred in your first game for a new county’s always good, but then to do it at Lord’s, it’s probably the best ground in the world, so that’s definitely a bucket list thing and pretty special,” said Harris.

Harris, 32, had previously made nine hundreds for two other counties, Gloucestershire and Leicestershire, innings which helped him make the Test squad.

But he went unused in the 2023 Ashes, and hasn’t added too his 14 Tests despite now having 30 first-class hundreds and accumulating 2360 runs in the UK gong in to his fifth season.
