ON THIS DAY: 2016
1948: Cricketing great Sir Donald Bradman was out second ball for nought in his final Test match innings. The Australian needed just four runs to finish with a Test average of 100 but, after receiving a standing ovation on his way to the crease at The Oval, he had tears in his eyes and did not see the ball properly from Warwickshire leg-spinner Eric Hollies, leaving him with an average of 99.94. He was knighted the following year.
1999: A goal from Tommy Mooney gave Premiership new boys Watford a shock 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield. But the Hornets eventually finished bottom of the table and were relegated.
2012: England bowler Stuart Broad denied having any involvement in a parody Kevin Pietersen Twitter account set up by a member of the public.
2016: Justin Rose was victorious in the men’s Olympic golf in Rio.
