EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from The Northcliffe Collection, the legendary English cricketer Colin Cowdrey is seen preparing for the arduous journey to India for the 1959-1960 England cricket tour. The image captures a moment of quiet introspection as Cowdrey, dressed in a smart suit and holding his cricket equipment, gazes out of the window of a plane. The background is filled with the hustle and bustle of the airport, with other passengers and airport staff going about their business. Cowdrey's expression suggests a sense of anticipation and excitement, as well as a hint of trepidation. India was known for its challenging cricket conditions, with searing heat, humidity, and unpredictable pitches. But Cowdrey, who would go on to become one of the greatest batsmen of all time, was no stranger to adversity. The England cricket team was making its way to India for a series of Test matches against the formidable Indian side, led by the legendary Kapil Dev. The tour would prove to be a turning point in Cowdrey's career, as he scored an impressive 1,142 runs in just seven Tests, including three centuries. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication required to excel in the sport of cricket. It also serves as a snapshot of a bygone era, when international cricket tours were long and arduous journeys, and the thrill of representing one's country on the world stage was a source of immense pride and joy for players and fans alike.
