JACK HOBBS BATTING (AGAINST FRED ROOT'S LEG THEORY) 1932 CRICKET PHOTOGRAPH

Original photograph of Jack Hobbs batting for Surrey against Worcestershire during the opening day of the 1932 County Championship season. Fred Root, in his last season of first-class cricket, was still persisting with his own form of leg theory - this time with four close fielders on the leg side. The photo shows Hobbs getting the ball away through the leg trap, while on his way to a score of 84. Incorrectly dated on the back as April 29th - it must have been April 30th.

21 x 25cm. Ink caption to reverse. Some discolouration. Good condition.
