This is a fairly long article, so I'll post my comments here as I go through:

  • "Going into the match, Bradman needed to score only four runs in his final innings to have a Test batting average of exactly 100." What about his first innings? How could he go into the match knowing how many he needed to score in his final innings?
  • "... the Australia pace attack, led by Lindwall, cut down England within the first day for just 52." This, from the lead, needs to be made more accessible. What does "pace attack" mean? "Cut down" seems like tabloid language, needs to be made more encyclopedic. Should also be "Australian", not Australia".Lindwall was the main destroyer with 6/20
  • "Lindwall was the main destroyer with 6/20." What does 6/20 mean?
  • "The opening stand ended at 117 when Barnes fell ..." What has Barnes' falling got to do with anything? Wasn't it his wicket that fell?
