Arguably, Australian batsman Donald Bradman was the best batsman. Popular as a sporting hero among Australians, Bradman is often regarded as the greatest batsman of all time. His success was exceptional as both an individual and as a team player.

Bradman's had a batting average of 99.94 from his 52 Tests, which was nearly double the average of any other player before or since.

During the 1930 cricket season, he scored 974 runs over the course of the five Ashes tests, the highest individual total in any test series. Although most cricketers retire by their mid-thirties, Bradman was still playing strongly at almost forty years of age.

On 12 June 1948, Bradman scored 138 in the First Test Cricket at Trent Bridge. In his farewell 1948 tour of England the team he led, dubbed "The Invincibles", went undefeated throughout the tour. No other team since has managed to match this.
