Sir Donald Bradman saw more cricket than anyone else in the twentieth century. He personally watched virtually all the best cricketers from all the major playing nations, as well as both playing in and selecting Test sides from 1928 to 1971, giving him an unprecedented appreciation of the best the sport had to offer. Added to this was a skill in judging a cricketer's capacities and talents that was second to none. Bradman retained all the detail of every match - from the trivia to the humourous moments - and he never lost the ability to distil it all with quite extraordinary perspecacity. And towards the end of his life, from a whole century of cricketers, he selected the very finest twelve for his ideal team. Now, for the first time you can read about that team, in the words of the great man himself, and in so doing gain an extraordinary insight into the game he loved.

After the furore which heralded the publication of "Bradman's Best", which listed the Don's all-time best cricket team, the fires are sure to be stoked once more when he reveals the line-ups of his greatest all-time Ashes teams.

<p>Discovering the man behind the legend In 1995, journalist and author Roland Perry wrote to Sir Donald Bradman requesting an interview for a biography he was planning of the great cricketer. Surprisingly, the Don agreed. It was the start of a conversation that continued for years, during which the real Bradman shone, not only as a great sportsman but musician, brilliant thinker and humourist with a fondness for tea and a Scotch or two.\nIn Tea and Scotch with Bradman, Perry paints an intimate and revealing portrait of the man many regard as the greatest Australian cricketer of all time.</p>
