EDITORS COMMENTS
Farouk Engineer, the renowned Indian cricket player and batsman, is captured in this print from April 1969. The image transports us back to a time when seven star cricketers gathered on a humble piece of waste ground tucked away in a Salford back entry. It was here that they recreated an exhilarating test match between England and the Commonwealth for a film sequence featured on Granada Programme Nice Time. In this snapshot of the swinging sixties, we witness Farouk Engineer showcasing his exceptional batting skills using nothing but a humble dustbin as a makeshift wicket. This ingenious improvisation adds an element of charm and nostalgia to the scene, reminding us of simpler times when resourcefulness triumphed over lavish equipment. The setting itself speaks volumes about the passion for cricket that transcends borders and cultures. Even in Britain, where cricket may not be as widely celebrated as it is in India, these talented individuals came together to create magic on this unassuming patch of land. Their dedication serves as an inspiration to aspiring cricketers everywhere. Preserved through Tom Buist's lens, this photograph encapsulates not only Farouk Engineer's prowess but also captures an era defined by its unique blend of sportsmanship and creativity. As we gaze upon this remarkable moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the power sport has to unite people across continents while igniting joy within our hearts.
