An excellent autograph hand signed by Bill Bowes ( 1908 – 1987) Yorkshire and England Bowes was one of the best bowlers of the pre WW2 golden era, he made a major impact during Yorkshire's dominance of the County Championship. His Test average during the 1930s was the lowest of any of the major England or Australia bowlers.

Test debut (cap 264) 25 June 1932 v India
Last Test 25 June 1946 v India

Unfortunately Bowes did not have the same outstanding ability with the bat.
