Joe Solomon, the dead-eye who ran out Meckiff to seal the Tied Test, died the other day aged 93. Here he is having just done the deed, at left of frame in the greatest photo in cricket history:

Amazing to think how close it came to having no pictorial history of this epic moment, let alone one as good as this: https://www.australianphotography.com/photo-tips/behind-the-lens-the-famous-tied-test-photo

Kids of the digital age would have no idea.


The Australian cricket scoring books had this photo on the front cover for years. Such an iconic moment & image.

RIP Joe.
