EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense focus and determination of Cyril Foley, a renowned cricketer who represented Middlesex County Cricket Club during the golden era of the sport in the late 1930s. The image, taken in 1936, transports us back in time to an era when cricket was more than just a game, it was a passion that brought communities together. Born on August 18, 1868, Foley made his first-class debut for Middlesex in 1892, at the tender age of 23. Over the next two decades, he established himself as a key member of the Middlesex team, scoring over 11,000 runs in first-class cricket. Foley's batting style was characterized by his ability to score runs quickly and consistently, making him a valuable asset to the team. Despite his impressive performances, Foley's career was not without its challenges. In 1902, he was banned from playing cricket for a year after being found guilty of ball-tampering. However, he bounced back from this setback and continued to excel in the game. This photograph captures Foley in his prime, with the sun casting long shadows on the cricket pitch and the intensity of his gaze suggesting that he is fully focused on the task at hand. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of cricket and the passion that drives athletes to push themselves to the limit in pursuit of victory. As we gaze at this historical photograph, we are transported back in time to an era when cricket was more than just a game. It was a passion that brought communities together, and the exploits of players like Cyril Foley helped to cement the sport's place in the annals of British history.
