With an average of 99.94, Sir Don Bradman takes his spot on the podium as one of the greatest batsman of all-time. The legendary Australian batsman is one of the most famous cricketers to have ever played the game, thanks to his masterclass with the bat and an array of records to his name.

Of all the oppositions, Bradman relished playing against one particular team and that was Australia's arch-rivals, England. The former Australian skipper scored a whopping amount of 5028 runs against England, including a staggering total of 19 centuries.

Bradman terrorised the English bowlers for many years, a period in which he scored two triple hundreds as well. He not only relished playing against England, but also playing on English pitches with Headingley being one of his favourites as both the times Sir Don Bradman crossed the 300-run mark was at Leeds' famous stadium.

The first of his triple hundreds came in 1930, when he scored 334 to become the first Australian to ever score a triple hundred. The series is famously remembered for Bradman's legendary exploits with the bat as he scored a total of 974 runs across five Tests and helped Australia regain the Ashes on English soil. Such was his brilliance that even the sternest of English supporters couldn't help but acknowledge Bradman's genius.

Bradman's second 300-plus score came in 1934 in when he scored 304 runs to help Australia recover from an early scare. The tourists were struggling at 39/3 when Bradman came to the crease and rest, as they say, is history as the legendary Australian talisman smashed the English bowlers all around the park to register his second triple century in Test cricket.

His partnership with Bill Ponsford brought the visitors back into the match as the tourists salvaged a draw. The match turned out to be crucial in determining the fate of the urn as Australia went on to win the series 2-1, with Bradman ending yet another Ashes series as the highest run-getter with 758 runs to his name.
