Connect = Wisden

3. Is the image on the cover of Wisden Cricket Guide

2. Is Claire Taylor - who I think is the first women cricketer to be voted one of the Wisden Players of the year

1. I guess is John Wisden?

My guess is the MCC (Lords).

The 2nd pic could be the 1st female member of the club (They just started allowed women members a few years back). The 3rd pic could be some 1800s depiction of cricket at Lords. Not who the 1st pic dude is, but he could be some celebrity member from the last century.

About women playing cricket at Lords.
first could be about someone who didnt allow women in the members stands.
Second Could be first lady member of the MCC
third is a picture of overarm bowling (which started because a lady who was bowling couldnt bowl underarm as per the convention then due to her large gown)

Hi all,
The answer indeed is Wisden.

The first image is of Samuel Beckett, the only nobel prize winner to have appeared in Wisden.

The second is Claire Taylor, the first woman cricketer to be voted as one of the five cricketers of the year.

The third is a woodcut image that has appeared consistently till 2003 on the cover of Wisden.

Kudos Ankur !
