As long as cricket is here, the name of Sir Donald Bradman will always be remembered. Along with that his missing of unique record of 100 average in Tests will also be remembered. In his final innings, Bradman was dismissed for a 2-ball duck.

As a result he ended his elusive career on an average of 99.94, which still remains intact. No one is even close to this unique record. Bradman has achieved many success with Australia, especially against arch-rivals England.

Don scored 6,996 runs with the help of 29 centuries (which included 12 double centuries and 2 triple tons). Even in First-class cricket, Bradman had an average of more than 95, which is also a record. Although he couldn’t reach the 100-mark, his ‘imperfect’ career will always be remembered.
