Sir Donald George Bradman Signed Collage  

Often referred to as The Don, was an Australian  cricketer , widely acknowledged as the greatest  batsman of all time. Bradman's career  Test Batting average of 99.94 has been claimed to be statistically the greatest achievement in any major sport. 

'27 August 1908 – 25 February 2001'

The story that the young Bradman practised alone with a cricket stump and a golf ball is part
 part of Australian Folklore. Bradman's meteoric rise from bush cricket to the Australian Test team took just over two years. Before his 22nd birthday, he had set many records for high scoring, some of which still stand, and became Australia's sporting idol at the height of the Great Depression

During a 20-year playing career, Bradman consistently scored at a level that made him, in the words of former Australia captain Bill Woodfull, "worth three batsmen to Australia".

A controversial set of tactics, known as Bodyline, was specially devised by the England team to curb his scoring.

As a captain and administrator, Bradman was committed to attacking, entertaining cricket; he drew spectators in record numbers. He hated the constant adulation, however, and it affected how he dealt with others.

The focus of attention on his individual performances strained relationships with some teammates, administrators and journalists, who thought him aloof and wary. Following an enforced hiatus due to the Second World War, he made a dramatic comeback, captaining an Australian team known as "The Invincibles" on a record-breaking unbeaten tour of England'
