The good players receive a baggy green box, the ceremony can't be shown on television.

Is there custom in Cricket of giving caps or hats for playing an international game?
Yes, each game a person is given a special hat made of toughened material when he goes out to bat

There are special baggy greens for subs/uncapped 12th men that aren't real baggy greens but look alike.
I'll put Pratters out of his misery.
One Baggy Green per player, unless you lose it. I imagine blazers could be done on a tour-by-tour basis, as shirts often are, but that does seem somewhat wasteful.
Back in the old days they used to give out a Baggy Green per tour, but given all the old blokes just ended up hocking 'em for cash when they were in their 80s, I think CA wanted to bring back the mythology and rarity (and increase the re-sale value of the things) by limiting it to just the one.
