George Thomas says
The cricketers are, in order, Percy Chapman, Bob Wyatt, Vallance Jupp, Frank Woolley, K.S. Duleepsinhji and Maurice Tate, all English Test players.
George Thomas says
Leveson Gower speaks of Chapman having "just come back from South Africa", which suggests this event took place early in the 1931 cricket season, after Chapman captained the English Test team on the 1930-31 tour of South Africa.
