23.01.2022 *BAGGY GREEN BIOS* We continue our sneak preview of the Baggy Green exhibition with a pioneer of the game in Australia... #2 CHRISTINA MATTHEWS... Womens Test Player No: 100 Test Career: 1984-1995 Christina Matthews is the most capped Australian female Test player of all time having played 20 Tests. During her career she held the record for the most dismissals in a Test match (9), most dismissals in a Test series (19) and the aggregate number of dismissals for a wicket keeper (47). Due to womens cricket not being amalgamated to the Australian Cricket Board at the time, Matthews cap is adorned by the Commonwealth Coat of Arms instead of the Australian Cricket Coat of Arms. The crest on the Commonwealth Coat of Arms represents the six states of Australia, whereas the crest on the Australian Cricket Coat of Arms represents the four major industries of 19th century Australia and pre-dates the National emblem. *** Be sure to come and visit the exhibition when it opens on Friday 28th August; Museum open 7 Days.

21.01.2022 112 years ago to the day, cricket greatness was born. Happy birthday to Sir Donald Bradman, the best ever. ***... Artwork by Brian Clinton See more

21.01.2022 Congratulations to long-time friend of the Bradman Centre, Lisa Sthalekar on this fantastic achievement. A champion both on and off the field, this is so well deserved! Inducted to the ICC Hall of Fame alongside Jacques Kallis and Zaheer Abbas, it is wonderful to see the three players' contributions to the game recognised in the way.

21.01.2022 * BAGGY GREEN BIOS* Now that the Exhibition has officially launched at the Museum, we thought we would take a real throwback for our Saturday Baggy Green Bio... #3... Victor Thomas Trumper, 1877-1915 Test Player No: 79 Australias most romanticised Test batsman - tall, good-looking, of generous nature and a sublime athlete, Trumper scored most freely on the inconsistent, uncovered wickets of the day. An example of this was exhibited on a damp Old Trafford pitch in the 4th Test of the 1902 Ashes series. Opening the innings after Australia won the toss, Trumper became the first batsman to score a century before lunch on the first day of a Test match. This feat has only been achieved six times in the history of Test cricket.

19.01.2022 The Passion, Patriotism & Pride that is The Baggy Green Cricket occupies a unique place in Australian sport. It was the first national game and remains so after more than a hundred years. It is a game whose national side significantly predates the Australian teams of all other major codes and even the Federation of the Australian colonies. The Australian Test cap is colloquially called the baggy green, a term which has sometimes been applied to the team and to cricket in Au...stralia generally. So renowned was the baggy green that in 2003, when Roger Knight, in his role as the Marylebone Cricket Clubs (MCC) chief executive, announced a new relationship between the club and Albion, the maker of the baggy green cap, he said: We are delighted to be joining forces with a company of Albions calibre. Its baggy green is the most famous cricket cap in the world. Many people believe that the cap is so sacred an icon that it has never changed over the years. Again, this is not so; there have been many changes as you will now see:

Justin Lee Langer Test Player No: 354 Test Career: 1993 to 2007 Rarely has Australia witnessed a player of greater passion, courage and determination than Justin Langer. During his career he scored 23 Test centuries and with Matthew Hayden was one of the greatest opening combinations of all time. Cap manufacturer Albion displayed the distribution of their caps to the Australian, South African and New Zealand Cricket Teams by marking those countries emblems on the caps interior. Langer blocked out the New Zealand and South African emblems and has written the first two lines of the Australian National Anthem inside his cap. For me, my baggy green cap symbolises all those challenges. The sweat, the dust, the blood, the celebrations, the pain, the sacrifices, the effort, the friendships and the lessons they are all stitched into that small piece of cloth. After 15 years of wear, my cap looks pretty tattered and torn, and it smells horrible. It has never been washed, for the same reason that a high-ranking martial artist will never wash his belt.

03.01.2022 (Hes) the best thing thats happened to the game for many years- Sir Donald Bradman 1995 Australias most iconic player since Bradman himself, Shane Warne, will soon have his Baggy Green cap on display alongside the Dons in the Bradman Museum, thanks to the generosity of the Commonwealth Bank. In light of the devastation of the bushfires that ravaged the east coast of Australia at the start of the year, cricketing icon Shane Warne offered his baggy green cap for auction,... with all funds being donated to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal. The cap was bought by Commonwealth Bank of Australia for over $1 million. This Thursday 27th August- the 112th anniversary of Sir Donald Bradmans birth will see a ceremonial handover of the cap to the Museum, along with the launch of an exhibition on the history of the Baggy Green- Australias most distinctive cricketing symbol- that will run throughout the summer. The Bradman Centre is also thrilled to announce that from this Sunday, the Museum will return to normal operating hours (7 days- 9am-3pm) to allow as many people as possible to come and see the cap and the exhibition. Be sure to keep an eye on our socials for more information and some teasers on the contents of this fantastic exhibition. In addition, we will be sharing some photos that are currently on display in our Museum of the great Shane Warne himself. We look forward to sharing this cricketing history with you all.
