The Don Turns 100

[Heinz]

The great batsman that was Sir Donald Bradman turned 100 the other day.

Truly magnificent player, admired by all.

[Gnomey]

Yep totally agree Ed, truly the greatest batsmen ever.

 

[Wayne Little]

Agreed, the greatest batsman to take the crease!

Read the other day there was someone checking his innings records and claims to have discovered 4 runs not credited to him, that would take his average to the 100 mark? I guess time will tell....if there is any truth in it.

 

[Heinz]

Yeah won't change his official average even if the runs existed.

A relative told me he thinks the Don had tears in his eyes for his last innings and thats why he got knocked over for a duck. Bit of urban myth I think but still a nice story.
