1/ Bradman hadn't been in great health during the last season
The fibrositis had recurred in his back
But he was still a Test selector and he played in all The Ashes Tests that year as Captain and did very well

There was the '48 Ashes tour to Eng to look forward to, surely his last one as he closed in on 40 yrs
And sure enough, in his 1st FC match vs India for South Aus, he cracked 156 at @TheAdelaideOval in Oct '47
