I. Don Bradman's average
Donald Bradman is undoubtedly one of the greatest souls to ever have strode onto a cricket pitch. His achievements are without parallel. Generations of players have had their performances compared to the Don's.
And yet, Bradman's final innings was a damp squib. He was bowled second ball by Eric Hollies for a duck. Bradman, who retired after this Test, only needed four runs for a career Test average of 100. Instead he finished with 99.94.
Harmless enough so far?
But turn Bradman's average upside down and read back to front and what do you get? A broken cross shape, followed by 666: the number of the beast.
Coincidence? Maybe. But when you put this together with the fact that "Bradman b Hollies" is an anagram of "I'm born bad as hell"…
Gasp. Who was the Don really?
