Bradman Turns 110: 5 Incredible feats you never knew.

#2 A 100 in 3 overs.

Don Bradman could destroy an attack when he wanted.

Ab De Villiers' 31-ball century in an ODI against West Indies and Chris Gayle's 30-ball effort in an IPL Match have left modern cricket fans astonished thinking about the talent they possess in their pockets. These records are something that seems unbreakable.

To everyone's surprise though, a batsman from the slow and boring, the real Test era has done even better. Sir Donald Bradman once scored 100 runs in under 3 overs! 22 balls to be precise, as they were 8-ball overs and the non-striker faced two off the 24 balls just to give the strike back to Bradman.

It was a match between Blackheath and Lithgow in 1931 to open a new concrete pitch at Blackheath, the first in the district. Playing for Blackheath, Bradman unleashed after going past his 100.

In an onslaught that took place in just 18 minutes, the figures of the Three 8-ball overs read:

1st Over- 6,6,4,2,4,4,6,1 (33 runs)

2nd Over- 6,4,4,6,6,4,6,4 (40 runs)

3rd Over- 1,6,6,1,1,4,4,6 (29 runs)

Bradman was eventually dismissed for 256, which included 14 sixes and 29 fours.

"It's important, I think, to emphasize that the thing was not planned," Bradman said years later. "It happened purely by accident and everyone was surprised at the outcome, no one more than I."

What a smasher of the cricket ball.
