Sir Donald Bradman Statue

I used to love cricket. Played until well beyond darkness on school holidays (stumps were painted onto a street pole, and the neighbour's fence behind it was automatic keeper). Even watching it on TV, even tests. Was never rich enough to go to games although one time Pakistan played at Kardinia Park, Geelong, where I grew up and live, so we went to that; all I remember is that after the game my uncle was hunting for autographs and we somehow ended up outside the change rooms where I saw Imran Khan.. in his jocks. Shocking. Anyway, back to this statue. I used to love cricket buuuuuttt then I joined a club in my 20s... and sadly, I only learnt boredom and how intolerable being in an outfield can be on a 40° day. That said, mad respect and no boredom to this sculpture, this sculptor and this cricketer.

Every time I'm in the area, I pay my respects to the Greatest of the Greats, Sir Donald Bradman.

Memorial statue of world class cricketer Sir Donald Bradman. Beautifully constructed and maintained well. While look around you can see this place too. No shelter to protect during bad weather.

The greatest Australian cricketer.
