EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, King George V of England is seen shaking hands with members of the English cricket team and their captain, R.E.S Wyatt, at Lord's Cricket Ground in London during the first Test Match of the 1934 Ashes series against Australia. The King is accompanied by Lord Cromer, the President of the Marylebone Cricket Club, who stands to the King's right. The team went on to win the first Test Match at Lord's since 1896, marking a significant moment in English cricket history. The team members gathered around the King include, from left to right, C.F Walters, H. Sutcliffe, K Farnes, W.R Hammond, L.E.G Ames, G. Geary, H. Verity, W.E Bowes (shaking hands with the King), M.S Nichols (the twelfth man), M. Leyland, and E. Hendren. The two umpires, Hardstaff and Chester, are also present in the background. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the moment as the team celebrates their victory with the monarch, who was known to be an avid cricket fan. The photograph is a testament to the enduring popularity of cricket in England and the unique connection between the sport and the British monarchy. The year was 1934, and the weather was likely cool and overcast, as was typical for June in London. The pitch, freshly prepared for the Test Match, can be seen in the background, with the pavilion and the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground scoreboard visible in the distance. This photograph is an invaluable piece of cricket history and a reminder of the rich tradition and heritage of the game in England. It is a must-have for any cricket enthusiast or history buff, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the sport and its connection to the British monarchy.
