EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intense focus and determination of Timothy Carew O'Brien, a renowned cricketer who represented Middlesex County Cricket Club during the golden era of the sport in the late 1940s. The image, taken during a match, showcases O'Brien in mid-stride, his gaze fixed on the ball as he prepares to deliver a crucial over. The crease lines on the pitch, the worn leather ball, and the pristine white uniform add to the historical significance of the moment. Born on March 13, 1912, in County Kerry, Ireland, O'Brien was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler. He made his first-class debut for Middlesex in 1934 and went on to play a total of 258 first-class matches, scoring 7,602 runs and taking 717 wickets. O'Brien's finest hour came in the 1948 season when he scored 1,746 runs, including four centuries, and took 111 wickets, making him the first player to score over 1,500 runs and take over 100 wickets in a single English cricket season. O'Brien's exceptional performance earned him the Wisden Cricketer of the Year award in 1949. His contributions to Middlesex cricket were invaluable, and he is fondly remembered as one of the greatest all-rounders in the history of the game. This photograph is a testament to his skill, dedication, and the enduring legacy he left behind in the world of cricket.
