It was Graham Yallop - I am sure you all knew that. Apparently the first man to wear The Helmet in an official test match. The local Aussies were so impressed they booed him to the crease. - fair go mate!
I can't shake the old photos , which is probably a commentary on what isn't happening at present.
So who is this brave soldier? And no, he wasn't part of the riot police social team.

Not elegant enough to be Gower
I thought Dennis Amiss was the 1st to wear a helmet but then again, you did say "Test Match". Perhaps, Amiss was the 1st to use it in a game, most probably World Series Cricket. That too was a motor cycle helmet. As for this bloke, it looks a bit like Wayne Phillips, but I know it can't be him. I'm assuming you're after someone from an earlier era. He's using a DF bat, and it was rare to see an Aussie use an English bat so I'm guessing this is a non-Aussie....still don't know.
Cheers, Sanjay.
