In Bradman land, home batters eye turnaround

It doesn't take long after landing in Adelaide to know that you are in Bradman country. You coast along the Sir Donald Bradman drive on your way into the city, and when you finally make it to the Adelaide Oval, you are greeted by the Bradman statue outside the east stand near the Victor Richardson Gates.

If you thought Bradman's Test record was great (6996 runs at 99.94), then take a look at his Sheffield Shield record - he averaged 110.19 in 96 innings. His total of 117 first-class centuries (37 of them double) is still an Australian record. And if this struggling Australian batting line-up needed any inspiration, all the players need to do was take a look around.
