This match was played in the Blue Mountains town of Blackheath to commemorate the opening of their concrete wicket. Bradman and his New South Wales team-mate Bill Wendelll were guests in the Blackheath team. The game was played in December 1931 and Bradman made 256 comprising 14 sixes & 29 fours. Midway through the innings he walked down to Wendell and said ‘I think I’ll have a go’.


Over the next three eight ball overs (the convention of the day) Bradman scored a ton, his scoring shots were: 1st Over; 66424461 (33); 2nd Over 64466464 (40) 3rd Over 16611446 (27) & 2 to Wendell who scored singles on the first & fifth balls of the 3rd Over.


Bradman later wrote; ‘It is important I think to emphasise that the thing was not planned. It happened purely by accident and everyone was surprised at the outcome, none more so than I.’ £300 - 400
