This is the portrait I want in my living room!!
And wouldn't this bust look nice in the foyer.
And of course, the immortal cover drive; perfect for the study desk....After spending the morning at the Bradman museum, we decided that about two-thirds of the stuff on display would look much better in our houses. For any cricket enthusiast, this place is a must-see. Contrary to what the name suggests, the Bradman museum is actually a museum of cricket history that happens to contain lots of Bradman-related items. Apart from exhibits pertaining to Sir Donald, there are also sections devoted to the history of cricket, the origins of the game in Europe, the development of equipment, Australian cricket history and stuff relating to landmark series and events in cricket.
A team portrait of the 1882 test squad, the first to win a series against England. After the loss, some clever Englishmen burnt the bails and put the ashes in a little urn to symbolize the death of English cricket. Hence, the Ashes!!!
