Don Bradman

Sir Donald George Bradman was an Australian cricketer widely acknowledged as the greatest batsman of all time with a career Test batting average of 99.94. 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 specifically 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. 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. Bradman was knighted in 1949 being the only Australian cricketer ever to receive a knighthood and the first Test cricketer so honoured. Taken from Wikipedia
