INTRODUCTION

This match followed on from the five-match series of ‘Victory Tests’ played between England

and Australia (strictly, the Australian Services) between May and August 1945. Like those

games, the Dominions match is recognised as first-class but does not have official Test match

status.

Six of the players appearing for the Dominions had played in the ‘Victory Test’ series. This

record concludes with some combined statistics for the six matches, and the combined averages

of all the players who appeared in any of the six matches.

The England v Dominions match is described by Denzil Batchelor as ‘the Perfect Game’.

Newspaper reports on the match are fairly sparse. The running sheets kindly supplied by Cricket

Archive are complete, and are adopted here save where inconsistent with the published score,

and are corrected in line with the Lord’s scorebook. The home scorebook in the MCC Library is

not detailed or accurate enough to enable a ball-by-ball record, but it corroborates and in a

couple of instances corrects the running sheets.

The full list of sources used in compiling this record is as follows:

ENGLAND v DOMINIONS at Lord’s

First Day – Saturday 25 August

A.L. Hassett is due to captain the Dominions XI but is unfit with stomach trouble. Eventually H.S. Craig of the R.A.A.F. is found to replace him in the side, and West Indian L.N. Constantine is chosen by his team-mates to captain.

H.S. Craig and C.D. Bremner make their debuts in first-class matches

H.S. Craig makes his only appearance in first-class matches L.N. Constantine makes his last appearance in first-class matches Constantine wins the toss.

Dull morning threatening rain.

The sequence in the home scorebook of Hollies overs 19 to 27 and Wright 20 to 27 appears to be incorrect.

Pepper was out in the 67th over at 209, not in the 66th over at 203.

The running sheet of Wright’s 31st over states 2 balls, not one.
