Description:
Errol Holmes England Touring test cap, navy blue wool, embroidered St.George & dragon on front, named inside 'E.R.T.Holmes'. Lining worn, otherwise good match-used condition. [Errol Holmes played 5 Tests 1934-35. A dashing right-handed batsman, Holmes believed that cricket was to be enjoyed and was an important figure in restoring the reputation of English cricket after the Bodyline controversy of the early 1930s. He succeeded the Bodyline Captain Douglas Jardine as Captain of Surrey in 1934 and resolutely refused to use short-pitched bowling in county matches. He also captained the unofficial 'Goodwill' MCC tour to Australia and New Zealand in 1935 & '36]
