SIR DON BRADMAN
An Australian cricketer, he was known as “The Don” and the greatest Test batsman of all time. With a Test batting average of 99.94, this has been the biggest achievement by any sportsman in any major sport. The Bodyline tactic was made specifically to check his scoring. He dedicated himself as a captain and administrator to attacking, entertaining cricket attracting spectators in record numbers.
After the World War II, he made a dramatic comeback as he captained the Australian team “The Invincibles” on a record-breaking undefeated tour of England. In 2001, he was labeled as “the greatest living Australian” by the Australian Prime Minister John Howard. In 2009, he was enlisted in the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame.
