The first of many

When a 21-year-old Donald Bradman arrived in England to represent Australia in the 1930 Ashes, he had only four Test matches under his belt.

The greatest ever batsman to have graced the game of cricket announced his arrival with a phenomenal knock of 334 at Headingley.

Bradman fell for 334 off 448 balls with 46 delightful fours. The match was drawn, but Bradman’s knock was one to be remembered for ages.

This was Sir Donald Bradman's first triple hundred and remained Australia’s highest individual Test score until Mark Taylor equalled it in the late 90s and then Matthew Hayden overtook in 2003.
