EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vintage photograph from The Northcliffe Collection, the thrilling moment is captured as Indian wicketkeeper Bharath Reddy (center) gleefully appeals for an lbw decision against England's renowned batsman, David Gower (right), during the Indian tour of England in 1979. The match between England and India at Old Trafford, Manchester, was a pivotal moment in the series, with both teams demonstrating exceptional cricket skills. Gower, known for his elegant batting style and powerful strokes, was in fine form during the innings. However, his concentration was disrupted as Reddy, with unwavering focus and quick reflexes, spotted a potential edge from Gower's bat as he played a defensive shot. The Indian wicketkeeper sprang into action, whipping off the bails in a flash, leaving Gower stranded and unsuspecting. The umpire, after a brief deliberation, raised his finger, signaling that Gower had been given out lbw (Leg Before Wicket). The decision left the English batsman visibly surprised and disappointed, but Reddy's alertness and determination had paid off. The Indian team erupted in cheers, while the English players looked on in disbelief. This photograph, taken by renowned sports photographer John Sherbourne, encapsulates the intensity and excitement of cricket, with the contrasting emotions of triumph and frustration on display. The image is a testament to the skill, agility, and quick thinking required in the game, as well as the unpredictability that makes cricket such an enduring and beloved sport.
