EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Australian Ashes Touring side of 1938, led by the legendary Sir Donald Bradman, who is seated at the center. Surrounding him are some of the most notable members of the squad, including C. Babcock and Wilf O'Reilly. The Ashes series of 1938 was a historic one, with England scoring an unprecedented 903-7 declared in the final game at The Oval. Faced with such a formidable total, the Australians subsided to a defeat by an innings and 579 runs. Despite this loss, the series ended in a tie, and Australia regained the Ashes. The team members in this photograph are dressed in their formal blazers, exuding an air of sophistication and determination. The 1938 Ashes Touring party, with Bradman at the helm, is an indelible part of cricket history, and this image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. The Australians, known as the 'Aussies,' were renowned for their tenacity and spirit, and this series was no exception. Babcock and O'Reilly were key contributors to the team's efforts, and their presence in this photograph underscores the importance of every player in the squad. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of cricket and the enduring allure of the Ashes.
