YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The most iconic object in the collection at the Bradman Museum in Bowral, Southern Highlands NSW, is Don Bradman's first cricket bat.

Cricketing legend Don Bradman was just 12 when the bat was presented to him at a local Bowral match, when he was called onto the field in a men's game and the young boy scored 37 runs not out. Bradman's father George, who was a carpenter, mended the bat and Bradman went on to use it for five seasons, eventually scoring a district record 300 runs.
