Donald Bradman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BTW, I bet all of the team left Joseph Rodgers with at least one straight razor each.

#6 from the right ?

I read that article, long article on the great man with great interest. Just finished watching a two part youtube video with a brief history. Amazing that we in the USA don't know the name that is a household word across the seas. I guess the obvious reason is that cricket is not a sport native to this country. Anyway .........

Our opinions are diametrically opposed.

They seem to be don't they. We're both just guessing I think, but I looked up some old pictures and checked to see if Bradman was a pipe smoker, and the images and pipe smoking (common enough back then to possibly be a false thought process) all seem to point to six from the left.
