Sir Donald George Bradman, (1908-2001), is widely acknowledged as the greatest Test batsman in the history of the game. His career Test batting average of 99.94 is often cited as the greatest achievement in any major sport.

The story of how young Bradman practiced with a cricket stump and a golf ball is part of cricketing folklore. His meteoric rise to the Teat team took just two years. He captained the Australian team for twelve years and did not lost a single rubber.
