Bradman played a captain's knock to lead his side to a famous victory

The Australian side captained by the legendary Sir Donald Bradman won the 1946-47 Ashes series against England quite comfortably and the tone was set in the first Test itself which was held in Brisbane. Winning the toss and deciding to bat first, Bradman led from the front with a brilliant knock of 187 as the home side piled on 645 runs in the first innings.

The Australian pace attack led by express speedster Keith Miller, who picked up seven wickets in the first innings and Ernie Toshack, who picked up six in the second, made light work of the English batsmen as they could muster only 141 and 172 in their two innings.

Australia went on to win the five-match series 3-0.
