EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the summer of 1968, where legendary batsman Brian Close is seen honing his skills in the nets before Yorkshire's highly anticipated match against the touring Australian cricket team. The image captures a moment frozen in time, as Close stands tall with his bat held firmly in hand, ready to take on any challenge that comes his way. The intensity and determination etched on Close's face reveal a man fully committed to perfecting his craft. As he practices tirelessly in Sheffield's net facility, one can almost hear the resounding crack of leather meeting willow echoing through the air. This snapshot showcases not only Close's remarkable talent but also his unwavering dedication to the sport he loved. Set against a backdrop of nostalgia from the 1960s, this photograph transports us back to an era when cricket was more than just a game; it was an embodiment of national pride and sporting excellence. John Varley skillfully captures every detail - from Close's poised stance to the intricate meshwork of the nets themselves - allowing us to relive this iconic moment in cricket history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Memory Lane Prints, we cannot help but be reminded of how sports have always had a unique ability to unite people across generations and evoke feelings of excitement and admiration.
