The Bradman Museum's World of Cricket Limited Edition - BOOK

Don Bradman's personal collection of 35-mm slides was the founding treasure of the Bradman Museum and these prints are published for the first time in this book. With Bradman’s typed commentary and handwritten amendments alongside, the slides showcase the history of cricket, from its beginnings in England to its status as a game of Empire. Bradman gives us his candid option on cricketing legends Grace, Hobbs, Hendren, Larwood, O’Reilly, McCabe, Lindwall and Trueman. We gain insight into the game as he saw it in all its magic. The work of three of cricket’s greatest photographers are also featured. Bruce Postle’s black and white photos from the 1960s and 70s are iconic shots that will thrill any cricket lover. Vivian Jenkins’ work brings to life the drama of the 1970s and World Series Cricket, while Philip Brown’s camera ranges across international cricket up to the present day. This treasure trove of cricket is woven seamlessly together by Mike Coward, one of Australia’s most acclaimed cricket authors.
