Batsmen who never wore helmet while batting !!!

It would be more commendable to mention the ones who scored a lot without wearing one against the "fasties"

Sunny did wear the skull cap he got specially made for himself but it was not a precurser to the helmet.

The hemet had arrived and Sunny was not comfortable wearing it so he decided to wear something which avoided the visor, and allowed him to feel the air around his head. A hemet is very uncomfortable everywhere but its terrible in India and the first helmets were very shoddy.
Did Richie Richardson wore one or not ?
I think he never did .
BTW If I am not mistaken then Graham Yallop was the first to wear a helmet .vs West Indies at Bridgetown on 17th March 1978 and later England’s Dennis Amiss popularized it in Test Cricket.
