Cricket Legends Chat: Martin Donnelly and Sir Donald Bradman

Martin Donnelly: G’day, Don! Long time no see. How’s life treating ya? Just had a pretty intense net session—brings back memories.

Sir Donald Bradman: Hey, Martin! Life is grand, thank you! Just taking it easy and reminiscing about the good old days. Speaking of nets, I still remember that cover drive of yours—pure elegance!

Martin Donnelly: Cheers, mate! Coming from the ‘Don’ himself, that means a lot. You weren’t half bad yourself, considering you averaged nearly a century in Test cricket! Haha.

Sir Donald Bradman: Ah, you’re too kind. But seriously, Martin, you had such a natural flair. How did you manage to balance cricket and rugby so well back in the day? It’s no small feat.

Martin Donnelly: It certainly was a juggle, Don. But honestly, I just loved both sports so much. Each one gave me a different kind of thrill. Rugby, with its physicality and teamwork, and cricket, with its strategy and elegance. Kept me on my toes, that’s for sure!

Sir Donald Bradman: That’s amazing. Not many could pull that off. Speaking of thrills, one of my fondest memories is our 1946-47 series against England. Your 206 at Lord’s was simply sensational. How did it feel putting on such a show in front of the English crowd?

Martin Donnelly: Oh, that was a day to remember! Walking out at Lord’s is always special, but to score a double ton there—it was surreal. The English crowd was gracious, though. They appreciate good cricket, no matter who’s playing.

Sir Donald Bradman: Absolutely. You know, I’ve always been a believer in playing the game with a straight bat, both literally and figuratively. And you, my friend, epitomized that spirit. What’s your take on the modern game’s shift towards aggressive T20 formats?

Martin Donnelly: It’s certainly a change, Don. I appreciate the excitement and the new skills T20 brings, but there’s something timeless about the patience and technique required in Test cricket. I do hope it remains the game’s pinnacle.

Sir Donald Bradman: Well said, Martin. Every format has its charm, but Test cricket is where legends are truly made. Speaking of legends, we should catch up more often! Maybe revisit some old footage and have a chat about the golden days.

Martin Donnelly: Absolutely, Don. It’s always a pleasure catching up and walking down memory lane. Let’s plan for a get-together soon. Till then, keep well and keep those cricketing stories alive!

Sir Donald Bradman: Will do, Martin. You take care and keep swinging that imaginary bat in the nets. Cheers!
