Surrounded by his esteemed colleagues, the image encapsulates the essence of camaraderie and athleticism that defined the sport during the 1880s. The team is a veritable who's who of cricketing greats, including Barnes, Lyttelton, Shrewsbury, Gunn, Bates, Steel, Read, Peate, Barlow, and Ulyett. Each man wears the traditional cricket attire of the era - red and yellow blazers, blue caps adorned with white stripes, and crisp white collared shirts. The team's unity is further emphasized by their shared gaze towards the camera, as if to say, "We are one, we are the England cricket team." The backdrop of the photograph is a perfect blend of the old and the new.

The photograph also serves as a reminder of the storied history of the universities of Cambridge and Oxford, whose alumni dominated the English cricket scene during this period. Names like Johns of Cambridge and Johns of Magdalen College, Oxford, are synonymous with the game's golden age. This photograph, a vignette of a bygone era, transports us back to a time when cricket was more than just a sport, it was a way of life.
