EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of cricket legend Samuel (Sammy) Moses James Woods (1867-1931), a prominent figure in the world of cricket hailing from Somerset, England. The image, taken during the late 19th century, showcases Woods in his element, holding a cricket bat with an intense focus and determination in his eyes. Born on March 1, 1867, Woods made a significant impact on the cricket scene, representing Somerset County Cricket Club in various first-class matches. His exceptional skills as a right-handed batsman and occasional right-arm medium-fast bowler earned him recognition and admiration from both his teammates and opponents. Woods' cricket career spanned over several decades, with his first recorded first-class appearance taking place in 1887 against Yorkshire. Over the years, he played a crucial role in Somerset's successes, contributing valuable runs and wickets to their victories. One of his most notable performances came in 1894 against Lancashire, where he scored an impressive 152 runs in the second innings, helping Somerset secure a crucial victory. Retiring from first-class cricket in 1907, Woods continued to be involved in the sport, serving as a coach and umpire. His dedication and passion for cricket left an indelible mark on the game, inspiring future generations of cricketers. This photograph is a testament to Woods' enduring legacy in cricket history, capturing the spirit and intensity of a true cricketing great. With his bat poised and his gaze fixed on the horizon, Woods embodies the focus, determination, and love for the game that continues to captivate audiences today.
