What sacrilege did, Ross post?! Sir Donald in a T20!

One of the things that became clear from discussions with those that were close to Don Bradman is that his view of the shorter forms of the game was greatly misrepresented.

In the early days of one day cricket Don Bradman was ill informed about the nature of the game by those who had alternative interests to protect. Once he became familiar with the game I am told he supported and enjoyed it, and indeed it was apparently one of his regrets that his views on the game were so grossly misrepresented by those with alterior motives.

That's really interesting. I have a few books on Don, I now have to go back and re-read them to see if any of the latter ones cover his thoughts on the short-format.

Test Cricket always has (and will) be the greatest form of the game, but thinking about how Bradman approached the test game, he would've been incredibly successful in an ODI style format I reckon.

Career Mode

When in career mode can u incorporate real player names or are u stuck with made up names

I would agree that he wouldn't be as successful at ODI as tests, and perhaps that, along with reports from the time, led me to believe that he didn't like the game. As recently as the Packer docu-drama we saw this view still being portrayed.

I now beleive that the anti-one day lobby abused the relationship with Don Bradman for their own means and history will probably carry the view that he disliked ODI as it is the publicly domaine one.

When you take a look at his list of high-scores though, he had an incredible strike-rate in a lot of his bigger scores. When you factor in the shorter innnings, he's going at 65-70 a lot of the time, finding the boundary quite a bit too (although, obviously 6's aren't a part of his game, however grounds were a lot bigger back in his day).

I don't think he would've been as successful as he was in his test career, but he'd be an incredible guy coming in at first drop to anchor an ODI innings for you!

EDIT:

Bradman made all those runs at high speed in a manner that bewildered opponents and entranced spectators. Though his batting was not classically beautiful, it was always awesome.

...that's certainly a description that could apply to many of the worlds best short-format cricketers.

I misread your post, I thought you'd said "wouldn't be successful" not "would've" - I think he'd make the team for sure

If he was as successful in the short form game then they'd find a way to change the rules.

Really appreciate it,and hope you would be part of this community always

I think that Bradman's Blackheath ton shows he would have been more than happy to have a hit in the shorter forms of the game. The Bradman Trail

That picture of Bradman under lights at the SCG... The sky isn't black. Was this shot meant to be taken at dusk?
