EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of the Ashes. The image captures a pivotal moment during the England v Australia 2nd Test match at Lords, North London on 2nd July 1981. England batsman Ian Botham is seen trudging off the field with a dejected expression etched across his face. Having been given LBW for no runs, he walks away from the pitch, reflecting on what could have been. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the highs and lows experienced in cricket - one moment you can be riding high and then suddenly brought crashing down. The photograph showcases Botham's determination and passion for the game as he navigates through disappointment. It serves as a reminder that even great players like him can experience setbacks but it is how they bounce back that truly defines them. This vintage print not only captures an important sporting event but also reflects the spirit of cricket itself - a game filled with emotions, challenges, and moments of triumph or defeat. Eric Piper has skillfully frozen this fleeting instance in time, allowing us to relive this historic match and appreciate its significance within cricket history.
