EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless elegance and grace of Sir Jack Hobbs, one of the greatest cricketers in English history. Born on December 31, 1882, in Battersea, London, Hobbs went on to become a key figure in the sport during the early 20th century. Known as 'The Master', Hobbs was renowned for his exceptional batting skills, with a Test batting average of 56.94, the highest of any batsman who played in more than 50 Tests. The image shows Hobbs in his element, poised at the crease with a focused expression, a bat in his hands, and the sun casting long shadows on the cricket pitch behind him. The photograph captures the intensity and concentration that defined Hobbs' approach to the game, as well as the beauty and serenity of the cricket field. Sir Jack Hobbs made his debut for Surrey in 1905 and went on to represent England in 61 Tests between 1908 and 1930. He was a prolific scorer, amassing over 19,000 first-class runs and scoring 100 centuries. Hobbs was also an excellent fielder and a fine captain, leading Surrey to the County Championship title in 1911 and 1915. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Sir Jack Hobbs, who continues to be celebrated as one of the greatest cricketers of all time. The image captures the essence of a bygone era in the history of cricket, evoking memories of sunny afternoons spent on the cricket field and the timeless appeal of this beloved sport.
