I was never coached; I was never told how to hold a bat.
"Sir Donald George Bradman", Companion of the Order of Australia/AC, often referred to as ""The Don"", was an Australian cricketer, widely acknowledged as the greatest Test batsman of all time. Bradman's career Test cricket/Test batting average of 99.94 is often cited as the greatest achievement by any sportsman in any major sport.
The story that the young Bradman practised alone with a cricket stump and a golf ball is part of Australian folklore. Bradman's meteoric rise from The Bush/bush cricket to the Australian national cricket team/Australian Test team took just over two years. Before his 22nd birthday, he had set many records for top scoring, some of which still stand, and became Australia's sporting idol at the height of the Great Depression in Australia/Great Depression.
