EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Season of Contrasts: Cricket at New Road, Worcester, 2007" This evocative aerial photograph captures the essence of the unpredictable nature of cricket and the environment that surrounds it. Taken during the first day of a four-day County Championship match between Worcestershire and Durham in April 2007, the image showcases the pristine condition of Worcestershire County Cricket Ground, New Road, in Worcester. The lush, green expanse of the pitch, dotted with players in their crisp whites, stands in stark contrast to the surrounding landscape. However, the serene scene belies the intense competition underway. Durham, led by their formidable bowling attack, dominated the day's play, leaving Worcestershire reeling at 138 for 5. The sun-kissed grounds and the vibrant energy of the game promise an exciting contest. Unfortunately, the idyllic setting was not to last. In June of the same year, New Road was hit hard by severe flooding from the River Severn. The once pristine ground was transformed into a watery expanse, submerging the cricket pitch and causing extensive damage to the pavilion and surrounding structures. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between the game of cricket and the natural elements. It encapsulates the spirit of the sport, which thrives amidst the challenges of the environment and the unpredictability of the weather. The image is a testament to the resilience of the game and the community that supports it, as they weather the storms, both literal and metaphorical, and continue to celebrate the joy of cricket at New Road.
