Bradman bat goes for record price
Melbourne: Don Bradman’s first Test cricket bat attracted a record price of $1,21,500 at auction on Wednesday. The bat, purchased by an undisclosed Australian buyer, was signed by the entire 1928-29 Australian team as well as the English team which won the series 4-1.
“This is a record price for a cricket bat and there were several bidders, all of them within Australia, hoping to win the auction,” a spokeswoman for Melbourne’s Leski Auctions said.
The bat did not see much action in the first Test in Brisbane in 1928-29 — Bradman scored just 18 and 1 in England’s 675-run win.
Bradman was dropped after his inauspicious debut, and he later donated the bat to a competition run by a Sydney newspaper to raise money for a children’s hospital. — AP
