BRADMAN’S SCORES
NINTH 100 IN SUCCESSION
Don Bradman continues the role of riotous rungetter, says a Sydney writer. He has piled up close on 1500 runs in the season’s first-class matches —the ninth 1000 in succession. The centuries number seven, two in one match against Queensland. In 18 innings he has been not out twice and scored 1437 runs, an average of 89.81 an innings.
With the exception of his first season, 1927-28, Bradman’s aggregates and averages reveal something colossal and far in advance of anything done by any other past or present batsman. The figures are as follows: —1690 at 93.88, 1586 at 113.28, 1422 at 79.00, 1403 at 116.93, 1171 at 61.63, 1191 at 132.44, 1173 at 130.33, 552 al 86.22, and 437 at 89.81. In first-class cricket in 1937-38 he scored 11, 17. 101, 91, 62, 246, 39 not out, 54, 35, 107, 113, 44, 104, 3, 85, 79, 144 and 102 not out.
