"Soccer has Pele and cricket has Bradman"

David Morgan once said ""No name in cricket evokes so much wide awe and respect as Sir Donald Bradman. The name says what is best about the game and is synonymous with cricket," he Said, "Soccer has Pele and cricket has Bradman."

60 years after his last Test match and in terms of his achievements, his batting average of 99.94 still hardly seems credible, especially when one compares it to the many other players who have led the game at the highest level, Morgan said.

Bradman played 52 Tests, scoring 6,996 runs at an astonishing average of 99.94. , his 29 centuries testify further to his class and tenacity. "Cricket is about tradition and respect for past generations," said Morgan, "Sir Donald's life was a lifetime service to cricket and his legacy is that our strong game continues to grow stronger."
