EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken circa 1920s, the legendary cricketer Jack Hobbs of Surrey County Cricket Club is seen in full flight, hitting a boundary against their arch-rivals, Yorkshire. Hobbs, regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket, is shown in his element, his intense focus and determination evident as he connects with the ball and sends it soaring over the ropes. The image captures the essence of a golden age in cricket, an era when the game was played with a purity and passion that has rarely been equaled. Hobbs, known as "The Master," was a prolific run-scorer who amassed over 61,000 first-class runs during his illustrious career. His batting style was characterized by his ability to play the ball late and with great precision, making him a formidable opponent for any bowling attack. In this photograph, Hobbs is seen in his prime, his elegant stance and fluid motion a testament to his mastery of the game. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the rich history of county cricket, a form of the game that predates the modern professional era of cricket. County cricket matches were fiercely contested affairs, with deep-rooted rivalries between teams and their supporters. The Surrey versus Yorkshire rivalry was one of the most storied in the game, with both teams boasting some of the greatest cricketers of their time. As we gaze at this image of Jack Hobbs in full flight, we are transported back to a time when sporting heroes were revered for their skill, grace, and sportsmanship. The photograph is a reminder of the enduring appeal of cricket, a game that continues to captivate and inspire generations of fans around the world.
