Came here to post about this. If anyone's ever up in the Blue Mountains, it's worth popping in to the ground, have a look and imagine it all.

Unless they've put houses on it, been a long time since I went there tbh.

It's always mind boggling to imagine the god like abilities of Bradman in full swing. When ever I see my Grandpa I always quiz him about cricket when he was young. Always a few decent stories.

Marylebone Cricket Club v Rest of the World XI at Lord's, Aug 20-25, 1987 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

Gavaskar's 188 opening against both Hadlee and Marshall! IMO his best Innings and one of the finest ever. The bowling attack consisted of Hadlee, Rice, Marshall and Shastri. Such a prick but an epic Batsman.

Without putting the poo-bosh on that knock, it would have to be an international match, wouldn't it? In as much as a WSC or 70s ROW match would be at least. Dunno.

Must have been a fine knock though.

Never saw the match, but I've read that Marshall should have had him for a duck in the first innings but for a poor umpiring decision.
