Playing in only his tenth first-class match, Bradman, nicknamed "Braddles" by his teammates,[21] found his initial Test a harsh learning experience. Caught on a sticky wicket, Australia were all out for 66 in the second innings and lost by 675 runs (still a Test record).[22] Following scores of 18 and 1, the selectors dropped Bradman to twelfth man for the Second Test
