Bradman won the toss on New Years Day test of 1937 but again failed with the bat scoring just 13 The Australians could not take advantage of a pitch that favored batting and finished the day at 6181 On the second day rain dramatically altered the course of the game With the sun drying the pitch (in those days covers could not be used during matches) Bradman declared to get England in to bat while the pitch was sticky England also declared to get Australia back in conceding a lead of 124 In an innings spread over three days he battled influenza while scoring 270 off 375 balls sharing a record partnership of 346 with Jack Fingleton and Australia went on to win the game

What did Bradman do in the Australian second innings to ensure that the conditions were conducive to run making

He reversed the batting order He came in at 7

so that the best batsmen came in late and the

pitch became favourable for them

This problem has been troubling many peoplefor over 40 years However in 2009 JohnGodwin came up with a great idea and thesolution is in three steps

Smashing out the windows at the back andsmashing them inward in the front to improveweight ratio
