EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming mid-20th century photograph captures the excitement and intensity of a round of the classic Cricket card game, specifically the "Run-It-Out" variation. The image features a group of men gathered around a table, fully engrossed in the game as they lay down their cards and calculate their runs. The green felt tabletop is scattered with white cards, representing the wickets and the cricket field, while a red and white cricket ball sits in the center, symbolizing the focus of their attention. In this version of the game, players take turns drawing and playing cards to represent the actions of cricketers and fielders. The objective is to score runs by forming combinations of cards that represent successful hits and runs, while preventing the opposing team from scoring by playing cards that represent outs. The men in the photograph appear to be in the midst of a tense moment, with one player poised to declare his runs and another ready to challenge him with an opposing play. The Cricket card game has a rich history and has long been a popular pastime for cricket enthusiasts, particularly in countries where the sport holds a significant cultural significance. This photograph offers a glimpse into the social and recreational aspects of mid-20th century life, as well as the enduring appeal of cricket both on and off the field.
