Caught at the Wicket: A Thrilling Moment in the Run-It-Out Card Game - A Blast from the Mid-20th Century Cricketing Past Step back in time to the mid-20th century and join the excitement of a lively card game that brought the thrills and drama of cricket right into people's living rooms. In this image from Mary Evans Picture Library, we witness a tense moment during a round of the Run-It-Out card game, as a cricketer, dressed in period attire, prepares to make a dismissal. The Run-It-Out card game, also known as Cricket Dinner or Cricket in the Hearth, was a popular pastime that simulated the sport of cricket using a standard deck of cards. Players took on the roles of batsmen, bowlers, and fielders, and the objective was to score runs by drawing specific combinations of cards. This image showcases the 'Caught at the Wicket' scenario, where a batsman, holding his bat, has been dismissed after the fielding team successfully played a 'Howzat?' card, signaling that they believed they had caught the batsman out. The image is filled with authentic cricket details, from the cricketer's gloves and creased trousers to the worn-out leather ball and the scorecard on the table. The intense expression on the cricketer's face as he prepares to appeal to the umpire, 'How's that?' adds to the suspense and excitement of the moment. This photograph is a wonderful reminder of the rich history and enduring appeal of cricket, both on and off the field.
