Bill Woodfull, the gentleman of cricket arrived in England for the 33rd Ashes series in the summer of 1930. England were still under the captaincy of Chapman and the first Test was held once again at Trent Bridge. Hobbs playing in his last series scored 78 runs and along with half centuries from Chapman and Robins, England scored 270 runs. Clarrie Grimmett took 5 wickets at a cost of 107 runs for Australia. Australia in reply only managed to score 144 runs and only then because of a knock of 64 from Kippax. England were now in control and scored 302 in their second innings, leaving Australia to score 429 runs to win. Bradman and McCabe were batting well and when Australia were 3 for 229, a Notts groundstaff substitute, S Copley, made a brilliant catch to dismiss Stan McCabe for 49. Bradman went on to score his first century in England, but it wasn't enough as England won by 93 runs.

England were well on their way to record another win thanks to Duleepsinhji's 173 and Tate's 54. Chasing a total of 425, Australia replied with their highest ever score in Test cricket and the highest score made at Lord's of 729 for six declared. Bradman scored 254, which was the highest Test score at Lord's, Woodfull's contributed 155 and Kippax scoring 83. England couldn't find their way back into the Test despite a century from the English captain of 121 and eventually lost a high scoring match by 7 wickets.

It was once again Don Bradman who made the running in the third Test at Headingley by scoring 309 runs on the first day of the Test match. This is still a record for one day of a Test match and Australia ended the first day on 3 for 458, McCabe unbeaten on 12. Scoring 105 runs before lunch on the first day, he returned to the wicket the following day to add 25 runs, and was eventually caught by Duckworth of the bowling of Tate for 334. This was Bradman's highest individual Test score (and Australia's) and is still a record today. However, Mark Taylor equalled Bradman's 334 in 1998 whilst playing against Pakistan, but such is the stature of Taylor, he refused to go past Bradman's score and declared. (This is the where the idea came from to name the site and domain 334notout.com in recognition of Don Bradman's superb knock). Australia finally made 566, but thanks to Hammond's century England drew the game.

The fourth Test played at Old Trafford was your typical Test match in England, a wet one. There was little play after the first two days and the match was drawn. It still gave up a couple of interesting points worth noting. It was the final century partnership between Sutcliffe and Hobbs (11th), Clarrie Grimmett scored his first 50 in Test cricket and Stan McCabe took 4 wickets in England's innings.

As the series was now level, and according to the laws of the game, the final Test at the Oval was timeless. Wyatt took over the captaincy from Chapman and helped Sutcliffe add 170 for the sixth wicket. Sutcliffe scored 161 in his first innings, Wyatt 64. In reply to England's 405, Australia passed the total loosing just three wickets, thanks mainly to that man again Don Bradman (232). Ponsford scored 110 as Australia led by 290 runs after the completion of the innings. England couldn't get past the deficit as Hornibrook ripped them apart with 7 for 92 and Australia won by an innings and 39 runs, and with it the series.

Hobb's Test career ended with a record 5,410 runs. Bradman scored a record 974 runs in a Test series, a record which still stands today at an average of 139.14. Sutcliffe his nearest rival scored a modest 436 runs at an average of 87.20! Clarrie Grimmett took 29 wickets at 31.89 a wicket.
