CRICKETING GREAT SIR DON BRADMAN DIES
Sir Don Bradman, who has died at the
age of 92, was the most efficient and
relentless run-getter cricket has sjen.
Although his total of 6,996 Test runs
has been passed, it was the ratj at
which hj got them which set him apart.
In 52 matches either side of the Second
World War, he averaged 99.94. No-one
else has comj close.
In Bradman's last Test, in England in
1948, he needed just four runs to
average 100. He was bowled for nought,
but denied that sentiment was to blame.
