born on 27 August 1908 at Cootamundra in New South Wales, but grew up in Bowral.
My name is Don Bradman and I represent ‘Nature’s gifts’ because all the
hours I spent as a boy using a cricket stump to hit a golf ball against a water tank made
of corrugated iron eventually helped me to become one of Australia’s greatest
batsmen. When I retired from international cricket my batting average was 99.94.
