BRADMAN RETIRES FROM BIG CRICKET
Don Bradman, who turned 40 on August 27, says he definitely won’t play, in another Test match. He told this to a crowd of 5000 at the Oval after the fifth Test had ended. It was ironical that Bradman, the most prolific run-getter cricket has known, should end his Test days with a duck. . Bradman will still retain an acr* tive—but administrative —interest in „ the game that has made him famous. A move is afoot to arrange, as a testimonial to Bradman, a match between Australia’s 1948 Test team and an Empire team. It is suggested that the Empire team might comprise Compton, Hutton, Wright and_ Evans of England; Nourse and Mit-. chell of South Africa: Worrall, Headley and Johnson of the West Indies; Hazare and Mankac of India; and Sutcliffe of New Zealand.
