Sir Donald George Bradman AC (27 August 1908—25 February 2001), often called The Don, was an Australian cricketer, administrator and writer on the game universally acknowledged to be the greatest batsman of all time. He is one of the best the world has ever seen... He has a breathtaking average of 99.94 in tests... Has 12 double hundreds to his credit in tests which is the highest... In his last match, he was bowled for a duck by Eric hollies making his average to stall at 99.94... If he had hit 4 runs, his average would have been a 100... The legendary cricketer of this century, he was also famous during the famous bodyline series when he captained the Australian side against Douglas jardine's England side...
Was also famous for his performances against England and Windies in a consistent basis... Although he has played only in 2 countries ie England and Australia, still a record is a record... But i doubt whether he would have been so prolific if he were to play on subcontinent wickets... Lolz... Overall, though i havent seen much of the Don's batting, I admire him a lot...
