Gordon Versus Sir Donald Bradman

Don Bradman seemed to have a liking for playing against Gordon. Here is a short profile of his games both at Chatswood and Hurstville.

Gordon’s first encounter with Don Bradman was against St George at Hurstville Oval in 1926-27. After Gordon had posted a moderate total of 211, Bert Watson top-scoring with 73, St George recovered from 7 wickets down for not much over 100 to score 219 and win by 8 runs. Bradman who was 18 years-old in his first season in Sydney, was bowled for 11 by another 18 year-old, Gordon leg-spinner Norval Campbell. Norval who took 6-94, was selected in the NSW team for two games later in the season.
