What's wrong with this picture?

At Woodies for lunch today. Goodness knows how many times I've looked at this old print, but I only really studied it for the first time this afternoon.

There's no square leg umpire, and crazily the bowlers end umpire seems to be stood at the striker's end. The non-striker doesn't seem to have a bat.

The one detail that does seem right is that not one of the women in the crowd seems to be watching the match....
