Born on the 27 th of August 1908 Don Bradman rose to acclaim during times of hardship, depression and recovery to etch his name in cricket immortality.
100 years later, his Bradman's legacy remains as potent today as it ever was.
It is a measure of his impact on the game that his status has continued to escalate since he last laid his hands on the willow. He was one of precious few figures whose fortunes could and did lift the spirits of a nation.
As part of the Bradman Centenary celebrations, we are pleased to release the Bradman Centenary Collection. Each of the 4 unique images have been digitally reproduced on archive quality canvas with a facsimile signature of Bradman included in each of ‘Awe Struck', ‘Off to Battle', ‘The Final Curtain' and ‘The Cover Drive'. The details of each print are attached for your reference.
This part of the collection is " Awe Struck"
The Tribute with this piece reads as below.
Awe Struck
The crowd rises as one to acknowledge the unrivalled genius of Don Bradman as he returns to the pavilion at Headingley in Leeds on the first day of the Third Ashes Test on 11 th July, 1930 having scored an unbeaten 309.
No batter from any nation has bettered that remarkable achievement, which remains the high water mark in Test cricket.
He is still the only man to have scored 300 runs in a day, blasting 105 before lunch, 115 between lunch and tea and 89 in the final session.
The Don returned the next day and went on to record a then World Record 344 in Australia's first inning total of 566.
Bradman scored 947 runs (at an average of 139.14) in that five Test series against England, still the highest aggregate in a series.
In addition to his the triple ton, he scored two double centuries that series – 245 in the Second Test at Lords and 232 in the Fifth Test at The Oval.
As for 11 th July, no superlatives could do justice to what those attending witnessed and they knew it.
