Gilbert Jessop (1874-1955)
Photograph of Gilbert Jessop, the Gloucestershire and England batsman, who was famous for his feats of quick-scoring - he once scored a century in only 40 minutes. Jessop's nickname was 'The Croucher' due the uncommonly low crouch which he adopted when batting. Between 1894 and 1914 he played 493 first-class matches, scoring 53 centuries at an average of 32.63.

Tatler cover - Victorious England cricketers
England cricketers of 1933 featured on the cover of The Tatler at the time of a tour in Australia where they played five test matches and won the Ashes four matches to one. The tour was highly controversial because of the Bodyline bowling tactics used by the England team under the captaincy of Douglas Jardine. Portraits of cricketers shown are Sutcliffe, Jardine (captain), Hammond, Bowes, Allen and Voce. Date: 1933
