Financial Times 15,051 by BRADMAN

Fri October 2, 2015 at 2:31 pm by Turbolegs

It felt like Bradman has been possessed by Io. This has got to be the toughest Bradman challenge I have had to deal with yet.

I enjoyed this. I thought this was a nice level of difficulty; the answers did not give themselves away, but it was not a fight to the death like some of the Wednesday puzzles can be (setters – you know who you are!). Thanks Wanderer.
