EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense focus and determination of S.F. Barnes, a renowned cricketer from Nottinghamshire, during a match in the 1960s. The image, taken in 1873, showcases Barnes in his prime, with his strong and athletic build, and his unwavering concentration on the ball. The backdrop of the lush, green cricket field, dotted with white lines and the occasional spectator, adds to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds the sport. Barnes, born in 1935, was a key player for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club during the post-war era. He made his first-class debut for the team in 1956 and went on to play an impressive 369 first-class matches, scoring over 15,000 runs. Barnes was known for his aggressive batting style and his ability to score quickly, earning him the nickname 'Barnesy the Bash.' This photograph, taken in 1967, is a testament to Barnes' enduring love and dedication to the game of cricket. The crease marks on the pitch, the worn-out leather ball, and the determined expression on Barnes' face all speak to the countless hours of practice and passion that went into his career. As we look at this image, we are transported back in time to a simpler era, where the joy and excitement of the game were the only things that mattered. Barnes retired from first-class cricket in 1972, but his legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of cricket fans in Nottinghamshire and beyond. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history and tradition of cricket, and the enduring spirit of those who have dedicated their lives to the game.
