EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Batsmen Scrap," transports us back in time to the late 19th century when cricket was in its golden age. The image, taken circa 1880, captures the intensity and focus of the game as two batsmen and a wicket-keeper engage in a pivotal moment on the cricket field. The batsman on the left, dressed in white flannel trousers and a protective pad on his left leg, is poised to deliver a powerful stroke. His bat, held firmly in both hands, is angled towards the wicket, ready to connect with the ball. His expression is focused and determined, as if he is willing the ball to come to him. The batsman on the right, also dressed in white, is in a defensive stance, shielding the wicket with his body. His eyes are fixed on the ball as it approaches, and his gloves are tensed, ready to receive the impact. The wicket-keeper, standing behind the batsman on the right, is alert and focused, his eyes on the ball as well. The stumps, the three vertical wooden structures at the end of the pitch, are the target for the bowler, not visible in this photograph. The batsmen's goal is to hit the ball away from the stumps and score runs, while the wicket-keeper's role is to prevent that from happening by catching the ball or preventing the batsman from reaching the crease. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of cricket and the skill, focus, and determination required to excel in the sport. It also showcases the evolution of cricket equipment, with the batsmen's pads and gloves providing early examples of protective gear. Overall, "Batsmen Scrap" is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of cricket as it was played over a century ago.
