I
have managed to find among my vast collection of old trannies some cricket pictures
linked to Lancashire cricket or Old Trafford. You will find a selection below
. They will be added to as 'sorting' continues. Click on most images for a larger

Above
is Conrad Hunte of the West Indies driving (probably Fred Titmus). In the slips
is Colin Cowdry, The keeper is Keith Andrews, At short leg is Fred Trueman and
at mid off is Brian Close. Hunte scored 182 out of 501 for 6 declared and in the
West Indies team were such players as Worrall, Sobers, Kanai, Hall and Griffiths.
England lost by 10 wickets in this first test played at Old Trafford in June of
1963. Note the spectators sitting on the grass right upto the boundary and no
helmets to face Hall and Griffiths!
Above
is a shot of Don Kenyon of Worcestershire being bowled. Don't have date for this
game but suspect it's in the early 1960's.

In
the days when there was no Test Match play on Sundays ,Didsbury CC in Manchester
used to host a Charity game on the Sunday of an Old Trafford test and it often
included players not involved directly in the test and commentators etc.
