EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Australian Cricket Team on their historic tour of England in 1909. The team, dressed in their iconic baggy green caps and blazers, are seen here posing for a group portrait during a break from the intense competition for the coveted Ashes. Standing in the front row are some of the most notable figures of Australian cricket at the time, including Victor Trumper, C.B. Fry, and Monty Noble. In the second row, we find the likes of Joe Darling, Jack Fingleton, and Warwick Armstrong. Each player exudes a sense of pride and determination, reflecting the fierce rivalry between the Australian and English cricket teams. At the center of the photograph, team captain, Archie Macartney, stands tall and confident, with a determined look in his eyes. Flanking him are vice-captain, Clem Hill, and team manager, Ivo Whittaker. The team's mascot, a kangaroo named Bill, is also present, adding a playful touch to the image. The 1909 Ashes tour was significant for several reasons. It marked the first time that the Ashes urn was officially contested between the two teams, and the Australians emerged victorious, winning the series 3-2. The tour also saw the emergence of several cricketing legends, including Trumper, who scored an impressive 1,112 runs in the series. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of cricket and the enduring rivalry between Australia and England. It provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when sportsmanship, camaraderie, and competition were at the heart of the game." Featured in the photograph are: (back row, left to right) Jack Fingleton, Bill Carkeek, Bill O'Connor, Jack Connor, Bill Lave, Bill Cotter, and Vic McGhee. (Middle row, left to right) Clem Hill (vice-captain), Archie Macartney (captain), Ivo Whittaker (team manager), Monty Noble, and Vic Bardsley. (Front row, left to right) Warwick Armstrong, Joe Darling, Victor Trumper, and C.B. Fry.
