Bradman鈥檚 bat fetches US$65,000

A BAT used by Australian great Donald Bradman and signed by his 1948 “Invincible” team sold for 61,000 Australian dollars (US$65,000) at auction in Melbourne yesterday, reports said.

Bradman used the Sykes bat to score 115 in his final first-class innings at home before the team travelled to England 65 years ago. It sold for well above its anticipated value of A$20,000, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. said. The bat was signed by Bradman and his teammates, who included Lindsay Hassett, Ray Lindwall and Keith Miller. The Invincibles went on to become — and remain — the only Australian side to go through an entire Ashes tour unbeaten.
