The Nightwatchman Animal art on 19 July 1911The Nightwatchman Peter has a fascination with tradition, order and form. Here he chooses cricket and a character depicting the role of nightwatchman. For non cricketers this is the lower order (i. e. poorer) batsman who must do his utmost to stay in at the end of the day's play so that the best batsmen can start fresh and in better light conditions for the following day of play.
