CRICKET MEMROMBILIA: TWO AUTOGRAPHED AUSTRALIA V ENGLAND CRICKET BATS FROM THE 1975 TEST SERIES
Circa 1975
Slazenger willow bats, one impressed ‘132’, the other ‘128’ both signed by sixteen players, including Ian Chappell, Rod Marsh, Richie Richardson, 88cm long
The tour was Ian Chappell's last as captain; he met with considerable success with the bat, compiling Australia's highest aggregate, but announced his retirement from the captaincy following the final Test. Australia won the series 1–0 with three matches drawn and therefore retained The Ashes.
Bidding ended. Lot is unsold.
Provenance: Gifted to the vendor's father from the Australian team of 1975.
