...second to make it necessary for Australia to bat again. England's best batter, W. H. Hammond, could make no more than 56 runs before he was caught out by Bradman. Next morning with two wickets left to fall, Australia's able slow bowler, L. O. B. Fleetwood-Smith, took them both before England could add to its overnight score of 165. Australia had then won the match, by an innings and a tidy 200 runs, retained The Ashes by a great recovery, three matches...

The Australians promptly ran up 153 for four wickets. They had five wickets to spare when the stumps were drawn after their 300th run. In the second match against another team of Manhattan West Indians, Batsman Bradman contrived to compile a "century" (100 runs & better). His 117 helped...
...team that won the "Ashes" - symbol of world's championship - from England in 1930. Captain was Victor Y. Richardson, a first-class bat and Australia's greatest fielder.
