As we approach another edition of the oldest test series in history - Ashes and the cricket fans around the world are awaiting the wonders one would get to witness in this oldest cricket rivalry. However, one batter's name comes first & foremost whenever Ashes are discussed - Sir Donald Bradman.
In his illustrious career from 1928 - 1948, he played 52 matches and scored 6,996 runs in 80 innings. 'Sir Don' smashed 29 centuries, with a top score of 334. He has a magnificent average of 99.94. However, out of these 6,996 runs, he scored 5,028 runs against England, with 19 centuries in 63 innings (37 matches) averaging 89.79. Allan Border, another legend, has scored 3,548 runs against England while Sir Gary Sobers has scored 3,214 runs in 36 matches. This record is enough to understand the calibre of Sir Don Bradman.
