Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cricket Captains` Walk in Cootamundra, NSW, Australia:

The Cricket Captains` Walk features bronze sculptures of Australian Test Cricket Captains, along with Unaarrimim (Johhny Mullagh) the leading aboriginal player in the first Australian cricket team to tour England in 1868.

Cootamundra has strong connections with two Australian test cricket captains, being the birthplace of Sir Donald Bradman and a former home of Bill Murdoch. Their careers led to a special interest in cricket among the people of Cootamundra, which still prevails, with Cootamundra boasting 9 Cricket Ovals with 3 turf wickets.

With the endorsement of the Australian Cricket Board, the Cootamundra Shire Council established The Captains` Walk.

A life-sized statue of Sir Donald Bradman in typical cover drive stance was prepared and cast by the Sculptor and unveiled as part of Sir Donald`s 92nd Birthday Celebrations in August 2000.

Each bust has a plaque which details the cricket record of the captain.
