Don Bradman

‘Colombo: Port of Call’ finds history hiding in plain sight—in the footsteps of famous visitors and the island’s own turbulent present

A cap worn by legendary Australian cricketer Don Bradman during India's 1947-48 tour of Australia is up for auction on Tuesday. Despite some wear and damage, the cap is expected to fetch between US$195,000 and US$260,000. Bradman, considered the greatest batsman in cricket history, made significant records during that series and his memorabilia continues to hold great value.

Late Australian cricketing great Don Bradman's 'baggy green' cap from his Test debut against England in 1928 is being put up for auction this week, Pickles Auctions said.

Bradman's statistics alone are enough to explain why he is perhaps the greatest batsman of all time as he becomes the latest inductee into the Hall of Fame in this centenary year of the ICC.

An Australian businessman has purchased Donald Bradman's first baggy green Test cap for 450,000 Australian dollars (USD 340,000) at an auction, the second-highest price paid for a piece of cricket memorabilia. The price for Bradman's 1928 Australia cap sits behind the $1,007,500 ($760,000) paid at an auction for Australian leg-spinner Shane Warne's Test cap earlier this year

Instead of his unmatched average of 99, the late Sir Don Bradman saw himself scoring at just 70 in the modern times.

If everything goes according to plans, an exhibition of items from Don Bradman’s sports and personal space will be held in Kolkata soon

An old bat used by Don Bradman during the Ashes tour of England in 1930 would go under the hammer in Sydney and it is expected to fetch up to $20,000.

Pakistan's former batsman Zaheer Abbas rates Sachin Tendulkar higher than Don Bradman and believes that the Indian master is the greatest batsman of all time.

Shubman Gill is on the verge of surpassing Don Bradman's 90-year-old record for most runs by a captain in a Test series, needing just 89 runs. As India face England in the decisive final Test at The Oval, Gill aims to etch his name in history.

England batsman Joe Root on Saturday became the second skipper to hit three successive 150-plus runs after Australian legendary batsman Sir Don Bradman. Root achieved the feat in the first Test against India at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

An Indian collector has snapped up precious items, including a baggy green cap and three bats, once owned by legendary cricketer Don Bradman at bargain prices.

He has bowled to some of the world's best batsmen in his career, but Brett Lee feels Sachin Tendulkar and Sir Don Bradman are in a different league.

He was a wizard on the hockey field, mesmerising the opponents with his stick work. Dhyan Chand is the all-time greatest player the game has ever seen.

Unmukt Chand is a chip off the old block compared to his contemporaries as he spend time penning his World Cup memories as well as reading quality books.

Senior India wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik finds it extremely unfair that the legendary Vinoo Mankad's name is used in a negative manner for a dismissal which is absolutely legal. Mankad, in 1948 Tour of Australia, ran opposition batsman Bill Brown out at the non-striker's end. The Australian media termed it "Mankading" despite Sir Don Bradman calling the dismissal legal.

Saluting the longevity of Sachin Tendulkar, West Indies great Brian Lara has described the Indian batting legend as the 'Don Bradman' of modern era.

Discussions on physics, biomechanics and aerodynamics could take the fun out of an exciting cricket match, right? Wrong. Countries like West Indies have dedicated entire laboratories to study the science behind cricket.

Scores are central to both cricket and Western classical music (WCM), but the links between the two disciplines run deeper.
