Now here we have the world famous cricket jumper, which seems to be the subject of many questions - for it is made of very thick, and therefore heavy, wool, but cricket is a game for the summer season, when you kind of hope for sunshine and heat. The reason usually given is that wool absorbs sweat better, but the truth is a bit more complex, because the wool, being a natural material, is breathable, so it takes the moisture in from your body, up to thirty times its own weight, and lets it pass through into the air.
If you look up our man Alfred Harry Bakewell, you will be redirected to Fred Bakewell, which is what he preferred to be called. He was born in Walsall on the second of November 1908, and died, in Westbourne, Bournemouth, on the twenty-third of January 1983. He played for Northamptonshire , and for England, but in the year that this card was issued he was involved in a very serious car accident when returning from a match with his team-mate Reginald Northway who was driving and was killed in the crash. Fred Bakewell suffered extensive damage to his arm, and was never able to play again though he had many lengthy and painful treatments and surgeries.
There are plenty of online biographies, but I recommend the one at CricketCountry which also tells of a second automobile accident that he was involved in.
You will also find Fred Bakewell on John Player "Cricketers 1934" (1934) 3/50. The TradingCardDatabase/Bakewell shows you that, and the reprinted versions of both these cards by Victoria Gallery and by the Card Collectors Society. Handy info, if you get offered cheap sets or odds. They also add another card, by Amalgamated Press, namely "Test Match Favourites" (1934). However I have not been able to find any cards of Reginald Northway. Can you?
