Shooting for my series, On Broadway, I met these gentlemen. I later pulled back to add a third friend to the picture, which will probably make it into the final version.
I had the great good fortune and honour to be invited to spend the first day of the September Test match between Surrey and Durham at the Oval, Surrey’s stadium (Surrey won by 10 wickets in only 3 days, retaining their title for a third year). The day included a tour of the historic stadium, its museum and library, and a visit to the roof, with its splendid views of London (see panorama above). Throughout the stadium are artworks depicting famous players and moments from its history, including the group portrait below.
