The most recognised name in cricket is that of Don Bradman. Those who know a bit of cricket folklore are aware that when he was deciding to come to Sydney to further his playing career, he chose St George, because the Club agreed to cover the cost of his weekly train fare from Bowral. Those with a little more knowledge would know that one of the key negotiators was the Club’s Secretary, Frank Cush, who also provided accommodation in his home for Bradman for five years. Norman Cush, Frank’s son, was asked to vacate his room for the country boy. They remained close for the remainder of their lives.
