Bill BrownPrint Page Print this page

The plaque commemorates Australian cricketer Bill Brown (1912 - 2008).

Bill Brown was a polished, graceful, heavy scoring batsman who opened the innings regularly for Australia for much of the 1930's. He was Australia's first post-war captain, leading Australia in one Test in New Zealand, and was a member of the 1948 'Invincibles'. The Sydney Cricket Ground was his home ground before he moved to Queensland in 1936.
