Best cricket photograph you've seen

[Fiery]

There are so many. One of my all time favourites is Hammond's famous cover drive as much for Hammond's imperious drive as for Oldfield's beautiful position behind the stumps. Must find it.

Find it mate....do your best

It's X'd bro

(Why does it do that btw computer gurus?)

Then there is Trumper's fabulous high backlift as he steps out to drive. There is more energy emanating from that picture than any other cricket photograph I can imagine barring perhaps Underwood avoiding a bouncer and Jonty Rhodes' famous catch at short point.

Here is Trumper.

Wasim vs Stewart

Then there is Bishen Bedi. I dont know of many still pictures that can capture the fluidity of motion as this one does.

Batting too far out of his crease, backlift too high. Was only ever going to get bowled there. I've seen McGarth look better as batsmen TBH.

Another one of Bishen. The guy is all beauty when bowling and all ugliness when doing anything else

Shows how GREAT is your knowledge of the techniques of batting.
Impressed.

Amongst off spinners, I cant think of anyone to beat Laker's beauty of action. Here are two pictures.

One of delivery stride and the other of follow through - great technique. lovely balance and follow through.

 

[Goughy]

There is a great one I cant find that is of a Northern Test match in the early to mid century where there is a sea of flat caps and not a bare head in sight.

Evocative of the working mans relationship with cricket and the culture of the time.

Larwood's follow through as he litrally hurls himself at the batsman as if he himself is a projectile is another of my favourites.

Was he checking out his field?
