My Grandmother use to work at Parliament House donkeys years ago in catering. I have a napkin here somewhere in the house that she got the Don to sign for her. It was pre- knighthood, simply signed Don Bradman. He was a great cricketer & Aussie for sure, have you seen that old footage of him practicing with a cricket stump and a golf ball? He is whacking this golf ball into a ricketty old wooden fence and is consistently hitting it square on and back into the fence with a bloody stump! How's that for an accurate eye and reactions.. R.I.P Don |

Yeah he was renowned as a great young bloke. Well I guess you can say at least that he died doin what he loved best.... I know we shouldn't take this post away from the Don, but I kinda see Todds death as more of a tragedy... |

The Don said himself that there were many players that had more coaching than him,b ut he had a 'freakish' nature to middle the ball when he wanted. If only the Don could pass on his sportsmanship to f*****s like Shane Warne and Glen McGrath.. only then will Australian Cricket be the same as it used to be, all those years ago... Tung |

For me Don Bradman represented everything that was great in Australian sport.We could all take a leaf out of his book not just our elite sports stars,he was and will always be remebered as a true gentleman and a great sportsman. Not many ppl have ever had the respect of so many in as many countries and I doubt anyone will be as missed as much our Don. |

Not only was Don Bradman the greatest cricketer in history, he was an insperation to an entire generation. The world is a poorer place without his personage... R.I.P. Sir Donald Bradman 1908 - 2001 |

Sif Don Bradman wouldn't own at Q3. He would be an uber l337 railer. |
