EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the thrilling moment during the 1902 Ashes series when Australia, under the leadership of legendary captain Pete McIntyre, beat England by a narrow three-run margin. The image shows the Australian team in high spirits, with Archie Macauley, Victor Trumper, and Sidney Dufield gathered around the wickets. At the crease, Trumper, one of the greatest batsmen of his time, is calmly receiving the bowling from England's star bowler, T.E.W. Rhodes. The tension in the air is palpable as Duff, the batsman at the other end, prepares for the next delivery. The scoreboard in the background shows the close scoreline, adding to the excitement. The 1902 Ashes series was a hard-fought contest between two cricket powerhouses, with both teams demonstrating exceptional skill and determination. The match at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester, where this photograph was taken, was particularly eventful, with numerous twists and turns that kept spectators on the edge of their seats. The 1900s was an era of great innovation and progress in cricket, with new techniques and strategies emerging on the field. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the passion, skill, and sportsmanship that defined the game during this period. As the final runs were scored and the Australian team celebrated their victory, they etched their names into the annals of cricket history. This photograph stands as a testament to their determination and the enduring rivalry between Australia and England on the cricket field.
