He now became a different player, jumping out and sending the ball in all directions, knocking up 20 runs, in ten minutes. He found the boundary lino four times in that period. He then drove Knott for three successive four’s, while in the same bowler’s next over, ho hit 4,4, 2,4, 2. Jackson’s 50 took 180 minutes, whereas Bradman reach 200 in 290 minutes, the second 100 taking only 90 minutes. It was his sixth double century of the tour. The partnership had added 195 and Australia declared when 274 runs ahead of their opponents, leaving Kent just under two hours to get them. Bradman collected 28 four’s.
