History Of Australian Cricket
(Continued from Paga 8.)
himself went in Arst but it was never a permanent success. However the team. strength was enormously powerful. Hammond, Sutcliffe and Wyatt played in all Ave Testa and averaged 56, 65 and 46.71 respective
Paynter played in three
and had an average of 61.33 while Verily, Larwood, and Allen were all over twenty, The Nawab of Pataudi only played in two, and, after a bril lant century in his first Test game, (like Ranji and Duleepsingh before him,) he failed In the second and was dropped. But he had an aver- age of over 40 for three innings, And finally Leyland whom for the moment I had overlooked had an average of 34 for nine innings all completed.
THE FIRST TEST
The side was a very strong one but, as has been said, a great deal depended on whether England could master Brodman. In view of this it
is particularly unfortunate that Brad
an, through illness, was unable to play in
in the first Test Curiously enough this is only mentioned at the very end of the Wisden account with the rider "in view of subsequent events it is, to say the least, question- able if his presence would have EDIC

STEWARDS' INQUIRY
this dictum when considering Brad-Pic. Robertson ( Company): Yesterday's Sensation At
man's previous scores. England only led by 104 although Sulelife mude 194 and Hammond and the Nawab 112 and 102 respectively. It is true that Australia collapsed in their second innings, but numbers three, four and five all made a few runs. England won, as it was, very costly by ten wickets
Australia's team contained two men who have later made their name In Test Cricket-Fingleton, a
very sound bat, and W. J. Q'Tellly. L. E. Nagel was also given a trial but he did not prove a success. O'Reilly was the man who was to form the other half of the great attack with Grimmett in 1934, and is of course a spin bowler.
