Book Description
The A-Z of Bradman is an indispensable guide for all cricket fans and all those who recognise Sir Donald Bradman as a great Australian. From Aberdeen, where Bradman played his last innings in Great Britain, to Zanetti, whose cartoon eloquently caught the mood of Australia following his death, this book is a comprehensive companion to the life and career of the world's greatest cricketer. The entries include entertaining sidelights such as 'Granny' Scholz, the Cootamundra midwife who delivered Donald George Bradman, thus literally becoming the first person to get him out, and the plague of grasshoppers that he encountered in Canada in 1932. Alan Eason's careful and comprehensive research has been organised into more than 900 readable entries which give clear details of the lives of Bradman and his family, together with his acquaintances, friends, teammates, and even Oscar Bunt, the Southern Highlands table tennis champion whose invincibility was dented by Bradman at Bowral in 1925.

Book Description
This book is a celebration of Australia's sporting hero, and one of the most astonishing sportsmen of all time. Don Bradman made his debut in first-class cricket in Adelaide on December 16, 1927, playing for New South Wales against South Australia. He was then 19 years of age. In the 10 years that followed, Bradman rewrote batting records. He played 51 Test innings and scored 4,659 runs for an average of 97. He also played another 153 first class innings, scoring 11,926 runs for an average of 90. His performance was fantastic in every meaning of the word. In those 10 years there were 61 scores of 100 or more, including the record Test score of 334 against England at Headingley in 1930. As captain of Australia, Bradman also inspired his team to an historic victory against "Gubby" Allen's England in the 1936-37 Ashes series. This small, elegant book tells the story of Bradman's early years in a number of essays, observations, and articles by celebrated cricket writers including Neville Cardus, Douglas Jardine, and C. L. R. James, and, of course, Wisden. It also reproduces Bradman's scorecards and statistics for major games, and has an essay and foreword by Piers Morgan, who was a friend and correspondent of Bradman in the years prior to his death in 2001.

Book Description
'In the summer of 1930 a cricketing machine, by the name of Donald Bradman, played havoc around the county grounds of England, pulverising the finest bowlers in the land, shattering records left, right and centre, and making a tour debut the like of which will surely never be seen again.' WH Ferguson, scorer for the Australians. Comprehensively researched, compelling and immensely readable, Don Bradman is the story of how the 'boy from Bowral' became one of Australia's most remarkable sporting heroes, inspiring our nation during the dark days of the Depression, the Second World War and beyond with world-record breaking scores and sensational innings - and establishing a reputation that endures to the present day. Based on exclusive interviews with Bradman himself, Perry's biography of the man who came to be known simply as The Don was widely acclaimed on first publication and reveals how his success was based on a crucial mixture of determination, ambition - and that extraordinary talent which was often described simply as 'genius'.
