EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic opening partnership of Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe, two cricketing legends who graced the English cricket team between 1924 and 1930. The image, taken in the 1920s, depicts the duo coming out to bat with focused determination, their expressions reflecting the intensity and excitement of the game. Hobbs, known as 'The Master', is seen on the left, wearing the traditional white cricket attire and holding his bat with a firm grip. His calm and composed demeanor exudes confidence and experience, having already amassed an impressive 61,760 runs in his first-class career. Sutcliffe, on the right, is equally poised, his eyes fixed on the ball as he adjusts his pads. Nicknamed 'Herbie', he was a formidable batsman in his own right, scoring 23,884 runs in first-class cricket. Together, they formed a formidable pair, setting the tone for England's victories and thrilling crowds with their spectacular batting displays. The photograph also captures the atmosphere of a cricket match in the 1920s, with the crowd gathered at the fence, eagerly anticipating the action. The spectators' attention is fully on the two batsmen, their faces a mix of excitement, hope, and suspense. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of cricket and the special bond between the players and their fans. This photograph, from The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for any cricket enthusiast or history buff, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the great moments and partnerships that have shaped the sport.
