Cricket is not my first love, it is my ONLY love. I consider myself a student and an observer of the game, particularly Test Cricket. I don't favour any particular team, but prefer to be fair and enjoy good action. And yes, willing to share my views and open to learn from any source.

Dear Whiteline,

I am not taking sides here but adding another bit of information.

I agree that Bradman kept his thoughts to himself for most of the time.

But I remember reading in different books / journals that Badman expressed his relief at being able to captain the team with better trust and peace of mind, “now that the bastards (O Reilly and Fingleton) are out of the way” . He was referring to the 1948 “Invincibles” tour of England, and the 2 men in question had retired by then.
