Bradman's Farewell Duck — Hollies Bowls Him for 0 at The Oval, 1948
England v Australia
1948-08-14
On 14 August 1948 at The Oval, Don Bradman walked out to bat in his final Test innings needing only four runs to retire with a Test average of exactly 100. Eric Hollies bowled him a leg-break first ball, which Bradman defended; the second was a googly that he failed to read; it slipped between bat and pad and clipped middle and off. The Don had made a duck. The crowd rose to him; the average settled forever at 99.94, the most famous number in cricket.
