O'REILLY CAPTURES THE MOST WICKETS
AVERAGES FOR FOUR TESTS
The superiority of the English bat- ting and bowling is illustrated in the avernges for the four Tests. England has alx bats with averages over 50 (three being over the century), against only two Australians; and seven English bowlers Anished with figures better than 50, against only two Australians.
A study of the figuras reveals that bulk of the Australian runs came from Bradman and Brown. McCabe's only good score was his 232 and the figures of the others are marked by the fallure of the crack bats and the consistently moderate tallen of the all-rounders, Brown, bowlers and incidentally, was the highest scorer of both teams with 512 for eight in- nings.
Seven English bats have highest scores of over the century. Leyland's solitary 187 has placed him at the top of
the averages, followed by Hutton with 118. A four and a five A meeting of the Council of by Hutton in the second test spoiled Hongkong Football Association will what would have otherwise been a
