"GREATEST EVER"
WARNER %ON BRADIViAN
LONDON, March 1
Mr. P. F. ("Plum") Warner, the English selector and cricket writer, in the "Morning Post," says: ."Surely Don Bradman is the greatest batsman the world has ever seen on, a good wicket, i There, have been. finer sticky wicket batsmen, as, for example. Jack Hobbs, John ' Tyldesley,;' Victor : Trumper, 'Ranji,' C. 8.-Fry, W. R. Hammond, and Herbert Sutcliffe, but it can be only a matter of practice on such, wickets before Bradman, with his wonderful eyes, his Fred Astaire feet and genius for improvising strokes, is at least thenequal. Is he destined to break his own records one day and score 400 or 500 in a Test? I can imagine W. G. Grace in the Elysian Fields tugging his beard and muttering: 'This boy looks better than I was.' Even Grace's colossal deeds pale before Bradman's."
