EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic photograph captures the moment when Len Hutton, the English cricketing legend, scored the runs that broke the record for the highest individual innings in Test cricket at The Oval in London, on August 18, 1938. Hutton, dressed in his crisp white cricket kit, is seen in full focus as he delicately cuts the ball past the outstretched gloves of the Australian fielder, McCabe, with the ever-vigilant wicket-keeper, Bertie Barnett, keeping a watchful eye behind. The sun casts a golden glow over the historic cricket ground, adding to the sense of drama and excitement in the air. The year was 1938, a time when the world was on the brink of war, yet for one brief moment, the tension of international politics was forgotten as the crowd at The Oval held their breath in anticipation of Hutton's next move. With a total of 254 runs, Hutton's innings remains one of the most memorable in the history of English cricket, and this photograph is a testament to his skill, determination, and the enduring spirit of the game. The photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer Terry Parker, captures the essence of a golden age in cricket, a time when the sport held the nation in thrall and brought people together in a shared love of the game. With Hutton's bat poised to strike and McCabe's determined expression, the photograph is a snapshot of the intense concentration and athleticism required to excel in this timeless sport.
