The Invincibles didn’t get their name because of their destroyation of England in ’48.
They got that name when a fleet of Russian paratroopers dropped onto their ship and started killing the passangers on their voyage over.
Bradman killed the most Russians (he even stabbed some who were already killed by others), but Miller killed the bigger and tougher ones, and did so with a smile on his face and flick of his flowing locks.
Sam Loxton didn’t kill any, but he did run behind Bradman telling him how great he did.
Neil Harvey later said: “Paratroopers were tougher in my day.”
With the Ashes looming, I’m feeling this overwhelming need to do some Pom Bashing. I know its a sick degenerate affliction but sometimes I just can’t help it (happens every couple of years). Does anybody know a good place online where I can indulge my darker side.
