Display caption
This blazer was worn by Alec Bedser during his debut season as a Test cricketer in
1946. He made his Test debut at the age of 28 – it would surely have come much
sooner had it not been for the Second World War – but made an immediate impression,
taking 11 wickets in each of his first two Tests that summer.
