The cap, made by Hardings Mercery, Hunter Street, Sydney, with original label inside with W.A. OLDFIELD in black ink. Some slight wear to brim and small losses to the scrolling and wool, but in good condition for its age. Offered for sale for the first time.Oldfield made his first-class debut in England in 1919, and played his first Test match against England in his hometown of Sydney in the 192021 season. In 1921, it was reported that he entered into negotiations to play for Lancashire as an amateur. He had injured himself on the passage to the UK in 1921, giving Carter the chance to restore his position, although Oldfield replaced him for the last two Tests. He was dropped for several matches over the next few years, but established himself as Australias automatic selection for wicket-keeper in the 192425 Ashes series against England. This is the cap he wore during that Series, which Australia won 4-1. Oldfield missed only one other Test in his career, the fourth Test of the 193233 Bodyline Series. In the notorious third Test at Adelaide, the English Bodyline tactic of bowling fast balls directed at the Australian batsmens bodies reached its most dramatic moment, when a ball from fast bowler Harold Larwood hit Oldfield in the head, fracturing his skull. Oldfield was carried from the ground unconscious. He recovered in time for the fifth Test of the series. Always an easy-going personality, Oldfield immediately forgave Larwood for the incident, and the two eventually became firm friends when Larwood later emigrated to Australia. Oldfield played Test cricket for four more years, ending his career in 1937. He was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year for 1927. $10,00020,000'
