EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegant style and grace of England's cricketing legend, Wally Hammond, as he hits a boundary off the bowling of McCabe at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in 1938. The image, taken during the height of Hammond's illustrious career, showcases his exceptional batting skills and the intense focus in his eyes as he connects with the ball. In the background, the attentive figure of Barnett, the wicket-keeper, can be seen wearing his protective gloves, ready to pounce on any mis-hits or errant deliveries. The year was 1938, a time when the world was on the brink of change. The 1930s, also known as the 'Golden Age' of cricket, was a period of unparalleled excellence and passion for the sport. The image transports us back to this era, where the game of cricket was not just a sport but a source of national pride and joy. Despite the looming shadows of war, the spirit of cricket continued to thrive, with players like Hammond, McCabe, and Barnett, who dedicated their lives to the game, bringing joy and excitement to millions of fans. This photograph is a testament to their skill, determination, and the enduring love for cricket that continues to this day.
