Its cricket ground was visited by Don Bradman in 1932, who called it the most beautiful cricket ground in the world. Geoffrey Boycott also visited in September 1964 and agreed with Bradman's view.
Famous quotes containing the word point:
“The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has streched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
