Cricketwise WG Grace, about whom a whole compendium of stories has
been written. Also Don Bradman, who seems to have been the genesis
of modern Australian nationalism. Eg. The Australian Broadcasting
Corporation's address, PO Box 9994, was chosen in honour of Bradman's
batting average of 99.94.

"When we spoke of literary figures, we spoke of Englishmen," recalled
writer Thomas Keneally of his schooldays. "But when we spoke of
cricket, we spoke of our own. No Australian had written Paradise
Lost, but Bradman had made 100 before lunch at Lord's."
