Description:
Samuel Garnet Wells (Australian 1885-1972) (Test Cricket Between England And Australia 1962/3). Ink and wash cartoon artwork, signed in image lower right, 31 x 38 cm. This fascinating work captures the many issues arising from the first three days of the Second Test at Melbourne (Dec.29, 1962 - Jan.3, 1963). Captions make reference to Melbourne's changable weather, the slow batting rate, the afll of Australian wickets at 111, 112, 112, 155 and 164, Neil Harvey's 1st Innings 'duck', the 'rescue' of the Innings by the 'Old Brigade' (Slasher - Davo - Benno), Fred Trueman's bowling ('Frolicsome Fred') and the arrival of the Bedser twins to watch the game. England won the Test Match by 7 wickets.
