EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1888, depicts a pivotal moment in a cricket match. The batsman, dressed in the traditional white attire, is seen taking a defensive stance against a swiftly bowled delivery. Unbeknownst to him, the ball has made contact with his leg before it reached the wicket, an infraction that falls under the Leg Before Wicket (LBW) rule. The intensity of the game is palpable as the wicket-keeper, clad in his protective gear, springs into action upon hearing the appeal from one of the fielders. With a determined look in his eyes, he raises both hands above his head, signaling to the umpire that a wicket has been taken. The batsman, caught off guard, looks towards the umpire for a decision, unsure of whether he will be given out or reprieve. The LBW rule, which was first introduced in the late 18th century, states that a batsman can be dismissed if the ball pitches or hits the wicket, and then goes on to hit the batsman's body, without touching the bat. This rule adds an element of unpredictability to the game, making it more exciting for spectators and players alike. This historical image captures the essence of cricket, a sport that has captivated audiences for over two centuries. With its rich history, intricate rules, and unparalleled excitement, cricket continues to be a beloved pastime for millions around the world. This photograph is a testament to the game's enduring appeal and the thrill of a close call on the cricket field.
