Lot 125
A Gunn & Moore `Treble spring` cricket bat, signed by the 1926 Australia XI and the 1948 Australia XI. Don Bradman was captain in his final test. 1926 Test England regained the Ashes by winning the final match. Because the series was at stake, the match was to be "timeless", ie played to a finish. Australia had a narrow first innings lead of 22. Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe took the score to 49-0 at the end of the second day, a lead of 27. Heavy rain fell overnight, and next day the pitch soon developed into a traditional sticky wicket. England seemed certain to be bowled out cheaply and to lose the match. In spite of the very difficult batting conditions, however, Hobbs and Sutcliffe took their partnership to 172 before Hobbs was out for exactly 100. Sutcliffe went on to make 161 and in the end England won the game comfortably 1948 Test, One of the strongest Test sides ever seen, Australia`s `Invincibles` regained the Ashes with a thumping 4-0 win. Despite their dominance, the series is best remembered for Don Bradman`s final Test innings, a second-ball duck at the Oval. Bradman famously needed only four runs in his last innings to finish his career with a Test average in excess of 100 runs. While he failed in that respect, during his career he still amassed 5,028 runs against England in Ashes Tests, including 19 centuries
