But on the eve of England´s second one-day international against
Pakistan at Lord´s, the MCC, which owns the ground, has urged its
members to put an end to the tradition.
"In recent times the practice of some members and other spectators
opening bottles of champagne in such a way as to allow corks to be
projected onto the outfield has been criticised," the MCC said in a
newsletter on Friday.
"Any items which are aimed at the playing area may cause a potential
hazard to fieldsmen and this point has been made formally to the club.
"Lord´s is now the only ground into which members and ticket holders
are allowed to bring alcohol, and in order for this arrangement to
continue it is important that all members, their guests and other
spectators refrain from the practice that has been described.
