Test #196. Don Bradman smashes 309* in a day. Lyrics
With the 1930 Ashes series being tied 1-1 going into the 3rd match at Headingly, Leeds a lot was on the line.
The toss was won by Australia who decided to bat on a beautiful summers day. But it quickly went astray with Australia falling to 1-2 after only 11 balls. In comes 21yr old Australian sensation, Don Bradman. Who on the back of scoring 131 in Australias losing effort in the first test and an amazing 254 in Australias win in the second test, he was looking to continue his fine form and assert his dominance on the third.
But no-one expected what was to come. He went on to blast an amazing 309* in a single days play. Not only smashing the previous record of 209 runs in a day set by Clifford Roach, he also broke the previous high score of 287 set by Reggie Foster.
Bradman went on to amass an amazing 334 off of 448 balls including an astonishing 46 boundaries.
