Back in 1957 a new Bradman was making his mark on Australian cricket fields.

What went wrong then? How come the Bradman's haven't carried on to this generation?

The Chappells played for Prince Alfred College so they were at war with the Bradmans from a young age.

Yes, to Bradson, I think.

However, he changed it back to Bradman later in life.

Bradson or something.

Wouldn't be much fun to play cricket if you were the Don's offspring. No matter how good you were, you'd still be a failure next to Dad.

He has now changed it back but I think he only has daughters so there are unlikely to be any Bradman's playing for Australia in the future.

Not very original. Some thing like Fingleston would have worked better.

He was Australian though. You have to make allowances.
