I popped in to see STUmp Cam, and saw a clip on cricket from one of my favourite shows.
I think we all know that if you are making an ad (even a fake one) bagging the don, i should be the one doing it.

Cric Info makes the case for Don Bradman as a rabid racist
OK, they don’t, but they do use this quote.
“I think you will get a good and sympathetic hearing from the cricket fraternity in London but what use is that if the powers that be won’t let tours take place.”_Sir Don Bradman in a letter to South African cricket chief Joe Pamensky in April 1978. Bradman was not pleased with cricket’s becoming a part of politics__Aug 17, 2008
Bradman was not pleased with cricket becoming a part of politics, diddums.
He was however more than happy with White South Africans playing cricket while Black South Africans were treated like Tina Turner.
Tiger Bill wasn’t some Star Wars extra
A few months back I came up with my best Australian XI.
Some people were dismayed at the fact I left out Don Bradman and Shane Warne, but I thought I had good reason to leave out both.
Warne was left out for the great Tiger Bill O’Reilly, a man who was never dominated by any batsman.
I have seen Warne dominated by Lara, Cronje, Ranatunga, most of India’s top order and his mum’s diet pills, so I chose the safer option.
Also, Bill has a far greater nick name than Warne.
As for Bradman’s omission that was simple, Keith Miller and Tiger Bill had to put up with that whiny little perfectionist their most of their careers, so I gave them a break from him.
Some international readers may not know that inside the Australian dressing room Donald wasn’t always the most liked man.
Tiger Bill said
“Don Bradman was a teetotaller, ambitious, conservative and meticulous. I was outspoken and gregarious, an equally ambitious young man of Irish descent.”
If Don Bradman wasn’t the world’s first probot, then he was Jango Fett.
