EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous cricket postcard, titled "Wicketkeeper struck" by Tom Browne, captures a light-hearted moment in the world of cricket from circa 1905. The image showcases a batsman in mid-swing, his eyes focused intently on a short-pitched ball. However, as he brings his bat down for a powerful slog, his backswing makes an unexpected connection with the wicketkeeper's head instead. The force of the collision causes the wicketkeeper to topple over, sending the stumps and bails flying in all directions. The batsman, seemingly oblivious to the mishap, continues his swing, his expression a mixture of surprise and amusement. The wicketkeeper, on the other hand, lies prone on the ground, clutching his head in disbelief. The other cricketers in the background look on in shock and amusement, adding to the comical scene. Tom Browne's illustration masterfully captures the spirit of cricket, with its blend of intense competition and camaraderie. The capricious nature of the game is encapsulated in this humorous moment, where even the most focused and skilled players can make a mistake, leading to unexpected and entertaining outcomes. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of cricket and its ability to bring joy and laughter to its fans.
