Bradman's
bowling in tests is probably best known for causing
his withdrawal from the 1938 Oval Test. His most illustrious
Test wicket was Hammond (85) in the second innings
of the 3rd test at Adelaide in 1933 - a match England
won by 338 runs. The other was that of Ivan Barrow
(WI wktkeeper) lbw for 27 in the 1st test, also at
Adelaide, in 1930. (Thanks Charles Levy)
