"140" Bradman bat
The number “140″ has got a great value in cricket since the “140 cricket bat” was used by the greatest batsman of all time, sir Donald Bradman of Australia.The name “140 bat” came when he scored 140 valuable runs against Yorkshire at Sheffield on July 16, 1934.

The bats, one of which is the famous ‘140’ Bradman bat and the other cricket bat which is signed by the Australian and England Test teams from the fourth Test of the 1934 series, have been loaned to the International Cricket Hall of Fame in Bowral, New South Wales, by current owners Martin and Eugene Withers from Scotland.
