‘Old England v Surrey, May 23, 1946’. Official Mitcham Cricket Club handbook for 1946, nicely signed in ink to the front cover by the majority of the two teams who played at The Oval. Surrey signatures include Bennett, Gregory, Barling, Squires, Parker, Watts, McIntyre, Mobey, Whittaker, A. Bedser, E. Bedser etc. ‘Old England’ signatures include Fender, Holmes, Sandham, Allom, Freeman, Sutcliffe, Tate, Jardine etc. It is likely that the handbook was signed by the players at a practice session at Mitcham prior to the one day match played at The Oval. Good/ very good condition.
The one day match was drawn.
