Bert Lock - A Cricket Legend and Master Groundsman
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Colorsport / Wilkes, we are transported back to the 1930 cricket season where Surrey County Cricket Club's very own Herbert Bert Christmas Lock takes center stage. Known for his exceptional skills both on and off the field, Lock's legacy extends far beyond his playing career. While he proudly represented Devon and Minor Counties during his time as a cricketer, it was Lock's remarkable talent as a groundsman that truly set him apart. In 1932, he assumed the role of groundsman at Devon and left an indelible mark on the cricketing landscape. His expertise did not go unnoticed, as in 1945 he was entrusted with the monumental task of restoring the Oval ground after six years of disuse due to World War II. Lock's dedication and passion for maintaining pristine pitches earned him the position of head groundsman at Surrey County Cricket Club until 1965. Such was his proficiency that he later became the Official Inspector of pitches for the TCCB (Test and County Cricket Board). His meticulous attention to detail ensured that players enjoyed optimal conditions throughout their matches. This extraordinary print serves as a testament to Bert Lock's unwavering commitment to cricket. It encapsulates not only his prowess as a player but also highlights his invaluable contributions behind-the-scenes in shaping some of England's most iconic cricket venues.
