In 1882, English cricket died an embarrassing death…Defeated, demoralised and disgraced at the hands of that colonial upstart, Australia! Now you can take pride in Australia’s cricket heritage with a timepiece of true quality and distinction. Presenting the “Death of English Cricket Anniversary Clock,” available only from The Bradford Exchange.
Under the gleaming glass dome, the clock face showcases a faithful reproduction of the original 'Death of English Cricket obituary’ notice. Full of good natured humour and more than just a little envy, the art symbolises an inspiring tradition of Australian cricketing excellence stretching back almost 130 years. Below, four pendulum counterweights move gently back and forth, driven by a precision Quartz movement for perfect time keeping. The clock’s mechanism is carried on a fine porcelain base accented in luxurious 22-carat gold. The base is encircled with the year of each victorious season and an ‘epitaph’ from Australian fast bowler Fred Spofforth, who helped decimate the English side during that fateful 1882 match. If you love Australia, you’ll want to make this distinctive timepiece part of your own family heritage. But hurry! This issue is strictly limited to just 1,882 issue worldwide.
