Sir Donald George Bradman , AC  (27 August 1908 – 25 February 2001), nicknamed "The Don", was an Australian international cricketer , widely acknowledged as the greatest batsman  of all time. Bradman's career  Test   batting average  of 99.94 has been 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  bush  cricket to the  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 . 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 specially 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. He hated the constant adulation, however, and it affected how he dealt with others. The focus of attention on his individual performances strained relationships with some teammates, administrators and journalists, who thought him aloof and wary.  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. A complex, highly driven man, not given to close personal relationships,  Bradman retained a pre-eminent position in the game by acting as an administrator, selector and writer for three decades following his retirement. Even after he became reclusive in his declining years, his opinion was highly sought, and his status as a national icon was still recognised. Almost 50 years after his retirement as a Test player, in 1997, Prime Minister  John Howard  of Australia called him the "greatest living Australian".  Bradman's image has appeared on postage stamps and coins, and  a museum  dedicated to his life was opened while he was still living. On the centenary of his birth, 27 August 2008, the  Royal Australian Mint  issued a $5 commemorative gold coin with Bradman's image.  In 2009, he was inducted posthumously into the  ICC Cricket Hall of Fame .
