EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken from The Northcliffe Collection, captures a pivotal moment in the history of cricket between England and India during the 1979 tour. The image, captured by acclaimed photographer Ted Black brow, shows the intense focus and determination of the Indian cricket team as they take on their English counterparts on the lush, emerald-green turf of an English cricket ground. The Indian team, led by the legendary Kapil Dev, had arrived in England with a reputation to uphold. Cricket had long been a source of pride and passion for both nations, and the 1979 tour was no exception. The series was expected to be a closely contested one, with both teams evenly matched. In this photograph, we see the Indian team huddled together, deep in conversation, no doubt strategizing their next move. Kapil Dev, with his intense gaze and clenched fist, is a picture of leadership and resolve. His teammates, including the enigmatic Sunil Gavaskar and the prolific Gundappa Viswanath, stand behind him, their expressions a mix of concentration and anticipation. The English team, on the other hand, are seen in the background, seemingly caught off guard by the Indians' display of unity and determination. The English captain, Mike Brearley, looks on with a thoughtful expression, no doubt pondering his team's response. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and passion of cricket between England and India. It captures the essence of the game, with its blend of strategy, skill, and sportsmanship, and serves as a reminder of the many memorable moments that have unfolded on the cricket field over the years.
