BRADMAN: RECORD BREAKER
There is no parallel in the history of cricket to the amazing batting performances of Don Bradman on the Australian team’s tour of England. Even the classic records of Victor Trumper are completely eclipsed by the young batsman, whom Lord Harris terms “a cricket phenomenon.” The following briefly summarises Bradman’s amazing performances: Record aggregate for a tour . . 2:966 Record aggregate for Test series 974 Record individual Test Score . . 334 Over a Test series, the only player whose record compares with Bradman's is W. Hammond, who was such an outstanding success on the English team’s tour of Australia in 192930, although he failed to produce his
best form this year in his native England. The records of the two men are as follow: Brarlman Hammond 1930. 1929-30. First Test .... S 44 131 2S Second Test . . 254 251 Third Test .... 334 200 Fourth Test .. 14 119* Fifth Test . . . . 232 38 Totals . . . 974 905 Average ... 139.1 113.1 *Not out.
