AS PICTURESQUE AS HE LOOKS. Geo. Duckworth, the most spectacular wicket-keeper that latter-day Test cricket has produced. He was behind the sticks in Australia in 1928-29, and also in the 1930 Test series in England, when Don Bradman first made mammoth scores, but was displaced by Leslie Ames in the last two series. Duckworth, who played at Eden Park four summer ago, is here shown giving hints to a youthful admirer, Fred Hunt, aged 10, at the Albert Ground, South Yarra, Melbourne.
