I would have no problem with them being played at The Oval. Surrey won the Twenty20 Cup (the first Twenty20 competition in the world) in both its first 2 seasons. I just don't think Lord's is a Twenty20 ground. It took until its 5th season to host a floodlit game, the members would kick up a storm.
