Vic: Second Bradman bat to go under hammer

Cricket tragics who missed out on the catch of the century .. a history-making DONALD
BRADMAN bat .. now have a second chance to own another of the DON'S blades.

Last September .. one of BRADMAN'S bats from Australia's 1930 tour of the UK created
history .. when it sold for 145-thousand dollars.

Today another of the cricket legend's bats from the same tour will go under the hammer
in Melbourne .. albeit with a more affordable pre-sale price estimate of up to 50-thousand
dollars.

As an added bonus .. the bat comes adorned with several signatures of Australian players
.. including WOODFULL .. RICHARDSON .. KIPPAX .. MCCABE .. A'BECKETT .. JACKSON and PONSFORD.

It also has signatures from England's third Test team .. and from the West Indies Australian
Tour of 1930-31.
