MOST RUNS IN AN OVER
Don Bradman went very nearly to breaking yet another record when he hit Freeman for 30 runs (three sixes and three fours) in an over at Folkstone at the end of the Australian tour. Actually, the English record is held by E. Alletson, of Notts, who on the Hove ground against Sussex' in 1911 hit Killick for 34 in one over (4, 6,6, 4,4, 4,6) which contained two no-balls. His first six shots produced 28. In his amazing innings of 189 out of 227 in 90 minutes, Alletson claimed 142 of the 152 added for the last wicket in 40 minutes! Unfortunately, Alletson dropped out of first-class cricket all too soon, and returned to the mines. In club cricket, W. Hyman, in 1902, punished Dr E. M. Grace for 32 in one over and 30 in the next.
