EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the moment during the historic second Test Match between England and Australia, held at the esteemed Lords Cricket Ground in London in 1930. At the heart of the action is the young Australian cricketing prodigy, Don Bradman, who, at just 21 years old, was already making waves in the cricketing world. In this innings, Bradman scored an astonishing 254 runs, a testament to his exceptional skill and determination. The image shows Bradman in the act of square cutting, a classic cricket shot that requires great timing and precision. The ball, having been pitched on the offside, is poised in mid-air, ready to be dispatched to the boundary. In a valiant attempt to prevent the run, English fielder A.P.F. Chapman dives to his left, his body contorted in an effort to save the day for his team. However, Bradman's shot is true, and the ball races past Chapman's outstretched hand, adding to Bradman's already impressive tally of runs. This photograph is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in the history of cricket, with Bradman's innings at Lords in 1930 going down in the annals of the game as one of the greatest of all time. The image also serves as a testament to the intensity and excitement of the sport, with both Bradman and Chapman giving their all in the pursuit of victory.
