EDITORS COMMENTS
Why We Lost: A Humorous Take on the Challenges Facing English Cricketers in Australia by William Heath Robinson, Courtesy of the estate of Mrs J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans (Date: 1921) This delightful illustration by the renowned British humorist, William Heath Robinson, captures the spirit of friendly rivalry between England and Australia on the cricket field. Entitled "Why We Lost," this print humorously depicts some of the unique challenges that English cricketers faced when touring Down Under. At the heart of the image, an English cricketer, with a forlorn expression, stands in the outfield, his cap askew, as he watches a ball soaring over his head. In the foreground, a kangaroo, with a mischievous grin, leaps towards the scene, poised to knock the ball out of the reach of the hapless English team. A wallaby, in the background, adds to the chaos by launching a boomerang, which is about to strike another player. The Englishman's plight is further compounded by the presence of a large, ominous-looking dingo, lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce. A crocodile, lurking in the water, adds to the sense of danger, as does the venomous snake coiled around a nearby tree. Despite the seemingly insurmountable odds, the English team maintains their sense of humor, as evidenced by the player in the foreground, who is attempting to swat away a fly with his cricket bat. This light-hearted approach to the challenges of cricket in Australia is a testament to the enduring spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie between the two nations. William Heath Robinson's illustration, with its intricate detail and witty commentary, continues to resonate with cricket fans around the world, offering a unique perspective on the rich history of this beloved sport.
