MAGNIFICENT BATTING

BY BRADMAN

TEST CRICKET RECORD.

EARLY FAILURE AT LEEDS FULLY

COMPENSATED.

SPARKLING CRICKET.

When the first wicket fell with only two runs on the board, optimism ran high, but Don Bradman, the twenty-one year old run machine, smashed all hopes of an England victory with the greatest display of batting witnessed in any Test match. He remained at the wicket whilst 456 runs were added of which his own share was 309. This constitutes a Test record beating R. E. Foster's 287 made at Sydney in 1904. Thus in the three Test matches in the present, series he has scored one century, a double century and a treble century, scoring altogether 703 runs in five innings, once not out for an average of 175 75!

With Kippax, Bradman participated in a record partnership for the third wicket, adding 229 and beating the previous record of 207 by Murdoch and Scott made at the Opal in 1884. At the close of play, Bradman was undefeated with 309 to his credit and the Aus

tralian total was 458 for the loss of three wickets,
