BRADMAN GAINS CRICKET IMMORTALITY LONDON, 31st May. Bradman’s chance of gaining early cricket immortality in making 1000 runs in May depended largely on the spin of the coin in the game against Hampshire. However, although Hampshire won the toss the Australians dismissed the home side leaving sufficient time for Bradman to score the necessary runs.
BRADMAN JOINS “FAMOUS FOUR” TEST TRIAL AN OLD MEN’S TRIUMPH LONDON, 31st May. The press pays generous tributes to Bradman and Jones for their respective feats. It is agreed that the former has achieved cricket immortality, joining the famous four, Grace, Hammond, Hallows and Hayward in this particular distinction. A critic describes the test trial as an “old men’s triumph.” One feature of the game was that no semblance of a catch was missed. Another was' Duckworth’s brilliant wicketkeeping, but there is no sign at present of an English Bradman.
