Best TTM yet!

Well, I continue my search for ex cricketers and I contacted the DVA concerning Arthur Morris and Sent a letter a Card to the DVA who forwarded it to Arthur Morris. Today I got a reply! Not really much of a letter, but very pleased he said thank you. Card was signed too. 2 autos if you wanna be picky

For those who don't know Morris was an Opening batter in the 40s and 50s. Opened for Australia in 48' and scored 196* when Bradman played his last test inning and got 0. So when you get a knock that isn't noticed, its called an Arthur Morris. Anyway, this bloke is legend, getting old now and is just 1 of 5 invincibles still alive. He is also 1 of the 30 men in the Australian Cricketing Hall Of Fame!

Well done mate! AM is quite easily one of the best 10 cricketers we have produced and it is great that you know so much about him, it shows that the history of our great game is in good hands!

Great Work Champ!
