Out First Ball - A Young Lad Has His Stumps Re-arranged
EDITORS COMMENTS
(10948415) is an evocative image from the annals of cricket history, capturing the moment of disappointment and bemusement that can follow the end of an innings, particularly for a young cricketer. The photograph, taken in 1905, depicts a young boy, perhaps around ten years old, standing at the crease with a look of mystified disbelief on his face as an older man, likely the scorer or umpire, re-arranges the stumps after the boy has been bowled out. The boy clutches his bat tightly, his eyes fixed on the upended wicket, as if willing the bails to magically return to their proper place. The pitch and crease are visible in the background, adding to the sense of history and tradition that surrounds the game. The image is a poignant reminder of the learning curve that comes with mastering the art of cricket, and the importance of perseverance and resilience in the face of setbacks. The boy's disappointed expression is a universal one, recognizable to any athlete who has experienced the sting of defeat, and serves as a reminder that even the most skilled players have their moments of struggle. This photograph is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich heritage of cricket, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the game.
