Rare souvenir record of the 1934 Ashes with rare supplement of “Don Bradman sheet and scoring records” enclosed. Oblong 8vo, 24pp, ill. With numerous illustrations and profiles of the Australian team.
Australia won the 1934 Ashes series against England, winning two of the matches and losing one, with the other two tests drawn. The Australian tourists were captained by Bill Woodfull, while the home side were led by Bob Wyatt, with Cyril Walters deputising for Wyatt in the first Test.
The last two Tests of the series were notable for the large run scoring of Bill Ponsford and Donald Bradman, who shared partnerships of at 388 at Headingley (scoring 181 and 304 respectively) and 451 at the Oval (scoring 266 and 244 respectively) in Ponsford’s final Test.
