Sir Donald Bradman


Sir Donald Bradman was born August 27 1908 and died on February 25 2001. Bradman was an Australian cricket player who is universally regarded as the greatest cricket player of all time and one of Australia's greatest popular heroes.

Born in Cootamundra, but raised in Bowral, Bradman noted for his obsessive practice, often hitting a ball repeatedly against a wall using only a cricket stump. After a brief time with tennis he dedicated himself to cricket.

He broke scoring records for both first class and test cricket, his highest international score [334] still standing as the highest ever test score by an Australian.

People that study sports, say thatBradman dominated his sport of cricket more than Wayne Rooney, Travis Pastrana, Chad Reed and Darren Lockyer.
