EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the historic moment during the 1932 cricket season when Herbert Sutcliffe of Yorkshire and Percy Holmes of Surrey set a new record for the highest opening partnership in first-class cricket. The image, taken in June of that year, depicts the two cricketers in a moment of civility and sportsmanship as they share a light-hearted conversation at the crease, their focused gaze on the scoreboard behind them. The scoreboard reads an impressive 555 runs, a testament to their exceptional batting skills and the unyielding determination that defined their partnership. The number 16, representing the number of hours and 22 minutes it took them to amass these runs, is also clearly visible. This record-breaking partnership between Sutcliffe and Holmes took place at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds, with Yorkshire emerging victorious in the match against Surrey. The event was a significant milestone in the history of cricket, and the image serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit of competition and camaraderie that continues to define the sport. The photograph, taken in the black-and-white era, showcases the simplicity and elegance of the game, with the scoreboard, score, and players' attire taking center stage. The image is a testament to the rich history of cricket and the unforgettable moments that have shaped the game over the decades. This photograph is a must-have for any cricket enthusiast or history buff, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring legacy of this beloved sport.
