Bradman at home after pneumonia scare
Australian great Sir Donald Bradman is resting at home after a bout of pneumonia forced him into hospital before Christmas.
His son John issued a statement in Adelaide today amid speculation that Bradman, 92, was suffering deteriorating health.
"Prior to Christmas he was in hospital with pneumonia," said Bradman Jnr. "He was very pleased to return home and is now there resting under medical supervision.
"The family recognises that there is legitimate interest in the health and well-being of my father but we ask that everyone respects his privacy."
Wisden, cricket's authoritative almanac, last year named Bradman as the best cricketer of the 20th Century. He scored 6,996 Test runs during the 1930s and 1940s at an unrivalled average of 99.94.
Bangladesh have arranged to play their first overseas Test against Zimbabwe in April.
