On This Day in Sport (14 August 2010):

1948: Cricketing great Sir Donald Bradman was out second ball for nought in his final Test match innings. The Australian needed just four runs to finish with a Test average of 100. But, after receiving a standing ovation on his way to the crease at The Oval, he had tears in his eyes and did not see the ball properly from Warwickshire leg-spinner Eric Hollies, leaving him with an average of 99.94. He was knighted the following year.
1999: A goal from Tommy Mooney gave Premiership new boys Watford a shock 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield. But the Hornets eventually finished bottom of the table and were relegated.
2001: Skipper Matthew Fleming ran out four players with direct hits as Kent, who eventually went on to win the Norwich Union League, beat Surrey at Canterbury.
2006: Leicestershire completed a last-ball victory in the Twenty20 Cup final at Trent Bridge, edging out hosts Nottinghamshire
