Even More From Lawrence Booth:
Quote of the Week [Don Bradman...Still the Greatest]


"On a rest day during the Indian tour in 1977-78, Don Bradman was around in the nets. I was bowling only leg-spin to him, but he had a couple of young blokes trying to get him out. With no pads, no nothing... for a 68-year-old, he belted the hell out of them on a turf wicket. And he hadn't batted for 20 years. I went back in and said, "Why isn't this ba$tard playing with us tomorrow?" That's how good I thought he was."
