LONDON,
Aug.
21
The
fifth
final
test
cricket
match
came
to
a
quick
close
today
with
England
winning
by
the
decisive
margin
of
an
innings
and
579
runs,
the
scores
being
England
903
for
seven
wickets
declared
and
Australia
201
in
their
first
innings
and
123
in
their
second
innings,
the
Aussies
being
quickly
dismissed.
The
victory
was
a
rather
hollow
one
as
neither
Bradman
nor
Fingleton
were
able
to
bat.
Roadman
broke
a
small
bone
in
his
leg
when
he
stepped
in
a
hole
as
he
was
bowling.
Mutton's
record
score
of
364
beat
the
previous
record
for
a
test
match.
It
is
Interesting
to
note
that
Mutton
saw
Bradman
make
the
previous
best
of
311
runs
eight
years
ago.
Yesterday
Bradman
was
the
first
to
congratulate
Mutton
on
his
magnificent
inning
and
each
of
the
Australian
team
shook
hands
with
Mutton
in
turn.
Bowes,
Fames
and
Verity
all
bowled
well
but,
with
Bradman
and
Fingleton
unable
to
bat,
interest
had
waned
considerably.
This
series
of
test
matches
has
resulted
in
a
win
for
each
team,
two
drawn
games,
both
in
favor
of
England
and
one
match
abandoned
without
a
ball
being
bowled.
Australia
retains
the
mythical
"ashes"
which
they
won
in
England
four
years
ago
and
again
in
Australia
two
years
ago.
