EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the West Indies cricket tour of England in 1957, we witness a moment of both fierce competition and camaraderie. The image captures the intense match between Warwickshire and West Indies at Edgbaston, Birmingham on August 9th, 1957. The focus is on two remarkable players: Roy Gilchrist, the talented opening bowler for West Indies standing to the right, and Shirley Griffiths, a skilled batsman and right-arm fast bowler representing Warwickshire positioned to his left. What makes this particular encounter so memorable is Roy's incredible performance during one over against Shirley. With sheer power and precision, Roy slammed an astonishing twenty runs off Shirley's deliveries. This impressive feat included a six, three fours, and a two. Despite being on opposing teams during this thrilling match-up, there are no hard feelings between these two West Indian cricketers. In fact, it seems that Roy has developed a deep admiration for Shirley as he has adopted him as his favorite bowler of the entire tour. This heartwarming display of sportsmanship showcases how even amidst fierce competition; respect can be fostered between opponents. Gerry Armes expertly captured this significant moment in cricket history through his lens. As we delve into this nostalgic photograph from Memory Lane Prints collection featuring iconic figures from the sport's golden era in the 1950s - we are reminded of not only their exceptional skills but also their ability to forge connections beyond boundaries through their shared love
