Remembering Two of Cricket's Greatest

Debuting at the Adelaide Oval at the age of 19, Don Bradman went on to become one of cricket's greatest batsmen.

In the 52 test matches Bradman played, he amassed 6992 runs with an average of 99.94 runs per match.

Bradman scored 29 test centuries in his career, and his record of 974 runs in a series remains unbeaten to this day.

Debuting at the age of 16 against Pakistan, Sachin Tendulkar remains one of the most prolific batsmen to take the field.

Tendulkar is the only player to have scored a 100 centuries, amassing over 30,000 runs in his international career.

Tendulkar was the first person to score a double century in ODIs, and the only player to have played 200 test matches.

On this day, in 1948, playing the Fifth Test of the Ashes 1948 series, Don Bradman played his last innings.

Unfortunately, in spite of his stellar record, Bradman ended his career with a duck.

42 years later, on 14th August, 1990, Sachin Tendulkar scored his first century against England at Old Trafford, Manchester.

So on this day, we take a look at their careers.
