Sir Donald Bradman

Sir Donald Bradman
Australia´s greatest sporting legend is known simply as The Don. Sir Donald Bradman was barely 20 years old when he was selected for Australia´s cricket team in 1928. Over the next two decades, he averaged 99.94 runs every time he went to bat — 40 runs clear of any other player. Bradman was voted the greatest Australian of all time in a recent national poll. Playing fields and songs have been named in his honour. In every state, the postbox number for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Australia´s national broadcaster, is 9994 — a reference to Bradman´s phenomenal run record.
