| Description : |
Moss Sanders playing cricket in the backyard of Sunnyside. He is playing with what appears to be a home made bat and using the shed door for the stumps. This tradition of 'making-do' was, and would continue to be, played out across Australia (and elsewhere in the cricketing world). Rubbish bins, shed doors, backyard fences and tree trunks have all played a role in impromptu games. |
