Don Bradman dies


Sir Donald Bradman has died at his Adelaide home. He was 92.

Richard Mulvaney from the Bradman Museum has confirmed the cricket legend's death yesterday morning at his family home.

Mr Mulvaney says Sir Donald died peacefully in his sleep and his family were there not long after.

Mr Mulvaney said Sir Donald died in the morning from "old age".

"He was suffering from pneumonia before Christmas and was hospitalised for a short period, went home before Christmas and was really trying to recover," he said.

Mr Mulvaney said there was no question Sir Donald was the greatest batsman who ever lived.

"Any cricket lover or, in fact, any Australian and in fact many people around the world will certainly mourn Sir Donald's passing," he told AAP.

Sir Donald was born at Cootamundra in southern NSW on August 27, 1908, but grew up in the southern highlands town of Bowral, about 100km south-west of Sydney.

His wife Jessie Menzies, whom he married in 1932, died in 1997.

The couple had two children, John and Shirley.
