A League Apart - The Best Cricketers Ever From Each Nation

Sir Donald Bradman - Australia

Bradman Walks Out

The Don is regarded by many pundits as the single greatest player ever to play the sport of cricket. Sir Donald George Bradman was, without any question, the greatest phenomenon in the history of cricket, indeed in the history of all ball games. To start with, he had a deep and undying love of cricket, as well, of course, as exceptional natural ability.

Averaging an astonishing 99.94 with the bat, Don has managed to captivate the audiences throughout his career and post retirement. Australia may be home to numerous astonishing cricketers such as Ponting and Border, but Don was a league apart.

His exploits with the bat took the game of cricket to a whole new level and made it more popular among places where cricket was relatively an unknown entity.
