    Bradman Connection Draft

    It would have been a pity if he hadn't been picked in this draft, as he's one of only two players to be dismissed by Bradman in a Test.

    Random things you may not know

    I don't think that one's right - the batsman had to be within the popping crease (4 feet from the wicket) in the 1884 Laws.

    Do tailend runs affect your cricketer rating?

    His bowling average in his last 10 Tests was 61, so they'd have been picking him as a batter who could bowl a bit.

    Most unceremonious exits from international cricket

    His batting wasn't too bad in the 1987 series, averaging 33 (actually more than he did in the Ashes, so little did he do there after the first Test hundred). As I recall, his 4-hour 51* in the last Test of the summer led to suggestions that, if he realised he was now going to be playing...

    Most unceremonious exits from international cricket

    Does this have to be in a match involving Bradman, or in any Test match?
