Vintage Fab: Cricket Match

I stopped by to visit my grandparents yesterday and flipped through a book on Bermuda's history, to this photo of my grandmother (second from left) and friends headed to a cricket match in the 1940s. I took her to a demo cricket match once on the National Mall and that's when I discovered her love for the sport. She says she was about 17 years old in this photo.

(Since I couldn't carry the book home to scan the photo, I made do with my camera so her face is rather hard to make out here. Click the image for an expanded view.)
