Title: Iconic Images
Post by: The_Bird on December 16, 2012, 04:20:35 PM
After looking through this months Cricketer it has listed the 50 greatest cricket photos ever. Was wondering what your favourite cricketing images are?


Here are a few of my faves from The Cricketer's collection.

Atherton walking to the nets in Antigua.

Impeccable defence from Steve Waugh
(http://www.patrickeagar.com/thumbnails.asp?image=92261.jpg&res=350)

Bradman's got his swagger in check.

No apologies for repeating this, probably my favourite WG story.

WG while replacing bails: 'Windy today isn't it umpire?'

Umpire: 'indeed it is doctor - take care that it doesn't blow your cap off on your way back to the pavilion.'

Think Lockwood's was better - after having Grace plumb LBW several times and caught at slip, for which he didn't walk, he bowled the Doctor neck and crop....

"leaving us already Doctor?  Why, there'es one stump still standing..." ;)
