#1 Sir Donald Bradman

The greatest of all time

Sir Donald Bradman, the world's greatest Test batsman, started his playing career with New South Wales.

Bradman made his international debut against England at the age of 20 in 1928.

Bradman's 20-year cricketing career was symbolized by his batting average of 99.94 in Test cricket.

If he had managed to remain not out or score four more runs during his final Test innings at The Oval in 1948, Bradman would have ended with an average of 100.

Till date, his aggregate of 974 runs at an average of 139.14 in the 1930 Ashes, remains the best by a player in a Test series.

Bradman's first Ashes series remains the highlight of his much-celebrated career as his knocks of 254 at Lord's, 334 at Leeds and 232 at The Oval crippled England, helping Australia win the five-Test series 2-1.

In 1949, Bradman became the first Australian cricketer to receive a knighthood.
