This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Varsity Cricket Match of 1911 between Oxford University XI and Cambridge University XI. The scene is set at the picturesque Lord's Cricket Ground, with the iconic pavilion and grandstands in the background. The Oxford team, one player short, is seen huddled together in a determined display of camaraderie and focus. The team consists of distinguished cricketers of the era, including Pawson, Vidler, Braddell, Altman, Lagden, Twining, Evans, Le, Couteur, Brougham, and Campbell. Each player exudes a sense of concentration and determination, their eyes fixed on the game ahead. The team's uniformity in attire and body language speaks volumes about their shared commitment and dedication to the sport. The Varsity Cricket Match was a highly anticipated event in the social and sporting calendar of the 1910s. The fixture was a significant fixture in the inter-university rivalry between Oxford and Cambridge, with each team vying for supremacy on the cricket field. The match was not just a test of cricket skills but also a display of sportsmanship and team spirit. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of varsity cricket in the early 20th century. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions of university cricket and the enduring appeal of the game. The missing player only adds to the intrigue and mystery of this fascinating image, making it a must-have for any cricket enthusiast or history buff.
