EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hilarious Twist to the Gentleman's Game: The Drunken Batsman Who Saw Three Balls! (circa 20th century) This charming comic postcard captures the lighthearted spirit of cricket, a quintessential British pastime, with its amusing portrayal of a tipsy cricketer in the midst of a match. The scene unfolds on a lush, green cricket pitch, where the action comes to a momentary halt as our hapless hero, dressed in a striped blazer and a thin, wimpy cap, takes a seat on the wicket. His pads and bat are nearby, a testament to his recent turn at batting. The title of the postcard, "The Drunken Batsman Who Saw Three Balls," sets the stage for the joke. Our batsman, with a bottle of alcohol in hand and a mischievous grin on his face, has apparently had one too many. As he leans against the wicket, he confidently declares, "I saw three balls!" The fielders, dressed in their crisp whites and looking on in disbelief, exchange knowing glances. This delightful piece of comic art, reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill and other British postcard artists of the 20th century, is a fun and humorous reminder of the lighter side of sports and the human condition. The contrast between the seriousness of the game and the absurdity of the situation is sure to bring a smile to your face and a chuckle to your day.
