Sir Donald Bradman is regarded by many as the greatest batsman in the history of cricket and was one of Australia's most revered sporting personalities.

From the late 1960s he donated much of his personal collection of cricket memorabilia to the State Library of South Australia, in total more than 150 items including trophies, bats, balls, tape recordings, photographs and cricketing apparel.

The Bradman Collection app features handpicked and newly photographed highlights from the collection.

Highlights include

• The bat used to score his first Test century
• The bat used to score his 100th century in first-class cricket
• The bat used to score the then world record 334
• Australian, South Australian and New South Wales team blazers worn by Sir Donald between 1927 and 1947
• Royal Worcester vase presented to Sir Donald in 1938 to commemorate scoring three consecutive double centuries on the Worcester ground in England
• A silver replica of the antique Roman marble vase at Warwick Castle, purchased in 1948 following a public subscription sponsored by The People newspaper
• Australian, South Australian and New South Wales team photographs
• Newspaper banners
