This tour is remembered particularly for the batting successes of Don Bradman.  Following innings of 131 at Nottingham and 254 at Lord's, he made 334 which eclipsed the previous highest score ever obtained in Test Matches between England and Australia - 287 by the late R. E. Foster at Sydney during the MCC tour of 1903-4. As if that were not sufficient, Bradman, although failing at Manchester, scored 232 in the final Test Match at Kennington Oval. Detailed reports on the tour as a whole and the individual Test and other matches can be found here.
