At the age of 40, Bradman was by far the oldest player on the team; three-quarters of his team were at least eight years younger, and some viewed him as a father figure. Bradman caused controversy with his own tactics. He received a standing ovation from the crowd and three cheers from the opposition. [81] Listed to bat at number five, Bradman would start his innings the next day. [20], Bradman rested himself for the next match against Cambridge University,[15][14] leaving Hassett to orchestrate another innings victory.

Bradman was more influential than other Australian captains because he was also one of the three selectors who had a hand in choosing the squad. [83] Bradman's share of the stand was 244 from 271 balls, and the Australian total of 701 set up victory by 562 runs. [3] As the run rate was generally much slower than 3.64, 55 overs would usually elapse long before 200 runs were scored.

Big Ant Studios have announced on the planetcricket forum that they are currently working on a sequel titled " Don Bradman Cricket 17". [32] It was to be the only run out of his Test career. Don Bradman toured England in 1948 with an Australian cricket team that went undefeated in their 34 tour matches, including the five Ashes Tests. Lindwall was worried that Bradman had noticed his injury, but Bradman later claimed that he feigned ignorance to allow Lindwall to relax. [154] Just as Bradman's legend grew, rather than diminished, over the years, so too has the reputation of the 1948 team. Hilton's achievement garnered widespread press attention, particularly in Lancashire.

[14][140], After the match against Durham, Australia headed south to The Oval for the Fifth Test, which started on 14 August. [20] During the following Australian winter (1926), an ageing Australian team lost The Ashes in England, and a number of Test players retired. The ball failed to rise and Bradman dragged it onto his stumps; the first-ball duck was his first in a Test.

[58] He had played 18 innings, scoring 10 centuries, six of which had extended beyond 200. His last double century (201) came at Adelaide, and he scored a century in each innings of the Melbourne Test.

[7][112] Jack Fingleton said that Australia's day went "progressively downhill" and was its worst day of bowling since the Second World War, citing the proliferation of full tosses. [133] Bradman then hooked two boundaries, but suffered a fibrositis attack, which put him in significant pain.
