Bradman still defying convention

A baggy green worn by Don Bradman on the 1948 Ashes tour has an estimated auction price of between A$600,000 to $750,000, Peter Hanlon reports in the Age.

A Bradman bat sold recently at the height of the global financial crisis for a world record A$145,000; "The Don" is still defying convention. "This is the single most valuable item we've ever auctioned — sporting, Australiana, across the board," Charles Leski said before the December 15 auction.
