EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Yorkshire County Cricket Team, the champions of the 1919 English cricket season. The team, dressed in their distinctive all-white uniforms and holding their cricket bats, are posing confidently for the camera. Among the notable players in this image are Wilfred Rhodes, the team's captain and all-rounder, and Herbert Sutcliffe, who went on to become one of the greatest batsmen in the history of the game. Other prominent figures include Percy Holmes, Frank Woolley, and Fred Trueman's father, Fred Trueman Sr. The 1919 season was a significant one for Yorkshire, as they won the County Championship for the seventh time in their history. The team's success came after a challenging period, as the sport had been disrupted by the First World War. The 1919 season marked the beginning of the post-war revival of cricket in England, and Yorkshire's victory was a testament to the resilience and determination of the players. The photograph was taken at the end of the season, likely at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds, which has been the home of Yorkshire County Cricket Club since 1890. The team's success that year was a source of pride for the people of Yorkshire and the wider cricket community, and this image serves as a reminder of their achievements and the rich history of county cricket in England.
