"A Legend is Born"; Rembering Bradman on his birthday!

"A LEGEND IS BORN",

                                          this is the title of Star Sports ad running today, a most appropriate title for this day,August 27, the day Sir Donald Bradman was born. Historic tributes compilation http://cricketa.us/1tSp7C4 ‪#‎TheDon‬
 

A Real 'Don'  in the history of cricket. An average of 99.94, 12 Test double tons, and 29 Test hundreds - arguably the best batsman seen in the game of cricket!

On this occassion we have to go through his career,his life,some facts,stories etc..


When we look back at his career,the average itself says what he was.99.94! What a man he was. for career stats; http://r.cricbuzz.com/Sir-Don-Bradman

In the final Test at The Oval, Bradman walked out to bat in Australia's first innings. He received a standing ovation from the crowd and three cheers from the opposition. His Test batting average stood at 101.39. Facing the wrist-spin of Eric Hollies, Bradman pushed forward to the second ball that he faced, was deceived by a googly, and bowled between bat and pad for a duck. An England batting collapse resulted in an innings defeat, denying Bradman the opportunity to bat again and so his career average finished at 99.94; if he had scored just four runs in his last innings, it would have been 100. A story developed over the years that claimed Bradman missed the ball because of tears in his eyes, a claim Bradman denied for the rest of his life.

A B'DAY MEMORY;

On 27th August, 1998, Don Bradman met Sachin Tendulkar,on the occasion of the Don's 90th birthday.
Sachin asked Bradman 'What would you have averaged in today's cricket?' He thought about it and said 'Maybe 70'. The natural reaction was 'Why only 70 and not 99?' He said, 'C'mon, that's not bad for a 90-year-old man'."

PICS ON AND ABOUT BRADMAN;







HAPPY B'DAY BRADMAN! MAY YOUR SOUL REST IN PIECE!

Dhoni "THE SELFISH ARROGANT CREDIT STEALER"

This article is from my Heart. The Title may look strange, but in this country, this title would make a small proportion interested, rather than giving some titles in praise for Dhoni. Dhoni may be the most Popular cricketer after Sachin in this country, but one thing is sure, Even though Dhoni lies second to master in likes, in dislikes he is far ahead than the master. They are very few in number, but they who continuously haunts him, troll him, abuse him. That very few even wished India to lose, just see Dhoni's head down. But unfortunately, Captain Cool always treat those people or media as those three dogs in his house. Am not here to Worship Dhoni, or to go through the milestones he achieved. We watched him, we know him, so there is no need to go through his journey and if I do Words won't be enough to describe that.  There were nearly 453 captains in cricket, but only one won all the three ICC Trophies. ICC T20 WORLD CUP,50 OVER WORLD CUP, CHAMPIONS TROPHY, NO.1 IN TEST...

Whenever India visits England or Australia, Every Indian Fan would have hopes of Building a Solid Foreign CV. When India finishes off their historic Afghan Tesr at Bengaluru in 2 days, I Was there at Chinnaswamy with greater hopes,wishing this time it’s going to be tough for England. Even today I Believe, even after burying all those hopes I Believe, unlike the former visits this series were really tough for home side. Apart From the Second test, Indians were never out of the context. I would say this is the best Indian Pace attack that visited England. 287,180,396,317,161,271,246;- The Bowlers really gave their 100%. Taking 67 wickets out of 70,never allowing a good batting home side to reach 500 or 600 is really an achievement. But Still we lost. How and Why? The difference between both the sides were When Indians had Sessions,England had days. And Test Cricket is all about Days. For me the Player of the Series is Sam Curran,followed by Jos Butler and Ben Stokes. I think the...
