BIRD PRAISE FOR LEGEND BRADMAN 10/10
Former Test umpire Dickie Bird
described Siu Donald Bradman, who has
died aged 92, as "a genius".
"He was a wonderful player, who seemed
to caress the ball," Bird said. "He was
a genius.
"It is a massive blow for cricket. He
had a gift. He had balance, saw thj
ball early and had a tremendous eye.
"Thj Bodylinj series will always bj
remembered but he also skippered the
Australian side in 1948 and that was
possibly the best Test side ever."
