Hello. I picked up this Ken Maynard print 'Hurry up doc' for $35 in an Op shop in the WA Wheatbelt historic town of York. I love cricket and used to play Blind Cricket. I couldn't make out the image until I brought it home. Very happy with it. Was man of these produced? On the back in handwriting is 'Presented to I. McNee Winner Double Wicket Competition 1977. Do you know who I. McNee was? Cheers, Steve Pitchford in WA
