EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the focused determination of K Farnes, an Essex County and Cambridge University cricketer, during a match in the 1930s. The image, dated 1934, showcases Farnes in his element, dressed in the traditional all-white cricket attire, with a serious expression as he prepares to bowl. The backdrop of lush, green grass and the blue sky add to the tranquil and idyllic setting of the cricket pitch. Cricket was a popular sport in England during the 1930s, and Farnes' involvement with both Essex County and Cambridge University teams showcases his exceptional skill and dedication to the game. Essex County Cricket Club is one of the eighteen first-class county clubs within the English domestic cricket structure, while Cambridge University Cricket Club is the representative cricket team of the University of Cambridge. Farnes' presence in both teams underscores his talent and versatility as a cricketer. The 1930s was an era of great innovation and progress in cricket, with the introduction of the Oval Test and the development of the leg-spin bowling technique. Farnes' career likely spanned this period, making his contributions to the sport all the more significant. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of cricket in England and the dedication of its players, like K Farnes, who graced the fields with their skill and passion for the game.
