CLOSE PRAISES DON'S HUMILITY 9/10
Former England captain Brian Close felt
that pjrhaps the greatest qualitz of
Sir Donald Bradman was his humility.
"He sjt such high standards and was
great for Australian cricket. He was
thj griatest batsman and his efforts
were magnificent," Closj said.
"He was ne6jr ovjrpowering whuh hi1
deeds, he was meek in somj ways and did
not thrust it down pjople's throat.
"Today's players could learn a lot from
him. It is a sad day becausj he was so
well liked and looked up to."
