Duckett redemption
PHOTOGRAPHER, JORDAN MANSFIELD: “The Outlaws star performers come together to celebrate with bats and pads forming a nice symmetry of sorts!” BEN DUCKETT: “My emotions couldn’t be summed up better than this photo. The semi-final in 2019 was a setback. But to get the boys over the line in 2020 put all that to bed.”

PHOTOGRAPHER, STU FOSTER: “My first cricket job after lockdown and what better than to draw some chalk stumps on a

A Summer Like No Other Getty Images photographers and the players discuss eight of the best cricket photos of 2020…
Broad sunlight
PHOTOGRAPHER, GARETH COPLEY: “Photography can be a lot about luck. The clouds only broke a tiny amount but I was very lucky as Stuart Broad running in to the bowl at the same time. Definitely no filter!” STUART BROAD: “This fills me with happiness and sadness. Happiness that we managed to play the game we love but sadness as a picture like this highlights the lack of crowd, which we love so much.”

PHOTOGRAPHER, HARRY TRUMP: “The autumnal light of late September lent itself to these hazy sillhouettes. Sir Alastair Cook continuing to score runs in the twilight, pictured from a remote camera in the Lord’s stands.” ALASTAIR COOK: “I reckon this was the ball before I got out! Amazing light! Great for photos but not easy to bat in although Jamie Porter and Adam Wheater made it look easy.”
