0.1 Larwood to Ponsford, OUT, Thats plumb in front of the wicket, out for a duck
Bill Ponsford 0 (1b)
lbw b. Larwood
It was the first ball of Australia's innings, Larwood to Ponsford, and he was out leg before to a delivery that came in at a sharp pace. What a start for Great Britain!
Out walked Don Bradman, the greatest player in the world of cricket and a player averaging an astonishing 136.25 for the tournament with 3 centuries to his name to face Larwood, the fastest bowler in the world. Never before has a first ball dismissal gathered so many cheers from the crowd.

Larwood kept pushing him back and then bowled one full and straight to which Bradman had no answer. He was trapped lbw for 42, which meant there would be no century today. His tournament ended with 587 runs at an average of 117.40 from 6 matches, the previous record for an Olympic tournament being Reggie Duff's 279 runs at 55.80 in 1904. What a phenomenal cricketer.

That's when the procession began. The Australian lower-order batsmen were being picked off one by one by the guile of Hedley Verity and the pace of Harold Larwood. The latter recorded a brilliant 4-wicket haul for the match. Can he make it to 5?

c. Dulee'nhji b. Verity
He could not, as Bert "Dainty" Ironmonger the ferret (a term used for someone who's worse than a rabbit with the bat) miraculously survived four balls off his 9th over. Bill O'Reilly was out to Verity in the next over for 2, thus bringing an end to the Australian innings. Nonetheless, he finished with a very impressive 4 for 38 from 9 overs, bowling one of his fastest and meanest spells against the strongest batting lineup of the competition, whilst also neutralizing the threat posed by Don Bradman. Australia finished with a disappointing 143 off 37.2 overs, their lowest ever total in an Olympic final. It could have been a lot less if not for the 24 extras conceded by Great Britain's bowlers in their innings. Needing just 144 runs to chase, Great Britain looked hot favorites for an Olympic Gold medal.
