THE AVERAGES
BRADMAN'S FINE FIGURES
With an aggregate of 801 ruiis and an average of 90 runs per innings, D. G. Bradman, the Australian captain, has been easily the most successful batsman on both sides in the last series of Tests between England and Australia which was concluded yesterday. S. J. McCabe has the second best aggregate and is third on the averages. Hammond leads him on the averages, but falls below him in the total number of runs.
Stevens heads the bowling averages, but to Voce falls the honour of taking the most wickets, and he is closely followed by O'Reilly, who has bowled the greatest number of overs. The accuracy of O'Reilly's bowling is shown by the high percentage of maiden overs he srnt down. It is worthy of note that on the English side the fast men, Voce, Fames, and Allen, secured the bulk of the wickets, while the Australians relied mainly on their slow men, O'Reilly, Fleetwood-Smith, and Ward. With his latest > score of 169, BraSman equalled Hobbs's record of twelve centuries in English-Australian tests, but the Englishman still has the greatest aggregate of runs. Their respective figures for all Tests between the two countries are:—
