Former Australia fast bowler Jeff Thomson talks to Rohit Bhaskar on bowling to Sir Don Bradman, meeting George Best and the best batsmen he bowled to. More from the Hindustan Times.
It was at Adelaide in 1977-78, when India was touring Australia. Sir Don was batting in a suit, no pads, no gloves, just a bat. He must've been around 70 and hadn't batted for almost 30 years and he was still so good. It was a turf wicket, and I bowled within myself, but there were a couple of young blokes who were bowling at full speed and he was carting them all over the place. Along with meeting Georgie Best, bowling to Bradman is the greatest moment of my life.
