CRICKET FIRSTS : CONVICTS VERSUS VISITING GENTLEMEN

From our remnant of a programme for the 1932-33 MCC tour of Australia, these photos show the Australian team  lolling about  in striped  coats and  odd  caps which make them look like convicts, while  the  upstanding  Brits  appear more  refined, wearing  cummerbunds, one  gent  sporting  an absolutely spiffing  top  hat.
