Bradman Turns 110: 5 Incredible feats you never knew.

#1 The epic comeback of 3-2.

Don Bradman bats in the nets, Sydney, November 19, 1936

This is another one of those Bradman,s achievement which hadn't happened before in cricket history and hasn't happened ever since. The comeback in the Ashes series in 1936/37, Australia.

The English cricket team had murdered the Aussies in their own backyard in the first two test matches of the series in December. They won the first match at Brisbane by 332 runs and the 2nd match in Sydney by an innings and 22 runs. The Aussies were looking pale and clueless against the visitors and were quite on the path of losing the Ashes on their land. Sir Don Bradman was himself under tremendous pressure as the series scoreline read 0-2.

But, the New Year 1937 came and everything changed. It started with the Melbourne Test match where Bradman used the bizarre Reverse batting order tactic to tackle the conditions and win. In the next 2 matches, the Kangaroos turned the table around and set up huge wins: By 148 runs at the Adelaide Oval and by an innings and 200 runs at the MCG.

It was an extraordinary effort by the legendary Captain and his team as they went on to clinch the Ashes 3-2 after being 0-2 down.

Bradman, as he often did, ended up being the highest run-scorer in the series with 810 runs to help his team retain the famous Ashes Urn.
