Bradmans 22 ball hundred

Bradman, as said many times, was a very quick batsman for his time. He made a triple century within a day, which even Sehwag couldn't do. Although he had more overs in a day, the fact that a person played at the speed of Sehwag is those days was astonishing.

What is a second class match?

The bowling was complete rubbish and Bradman himself plays down the knock in his own book.

DF talks of a triple hundred in a day by the great man. Yes he did , but in those days they bowled a lot of overs! Better still was a triple hundred scored in a day by Barry Richards against Western Australia in the 80's.

On 294 with a single ball to go , he launched the ball over the bowler's head , deep into the stands to complete his 300.

The bowler's name - a certain D.K.Lillee !!!

Now THAT's what I call a triple hundred!!!

I shall try and retrieve that innings you are talking about. If we are talking about the same dig, he was about 80 odd and told the bloke down the other end he was goiong to have a go... and have a go he did.

Even against children bowling, a 22 ball hundred is unbelievable.

You're still missing the point lad - the bowling was dross !!

I agree, Afridi couldn't do that, not even against a 30 mph medium pacer.

You wanna bet???

He might be able to.

I do it every night lad and follow that up with a 10-fer...

really! My sister could hit him with a stick of celary out of the ground!

hmmm,its quite achievable.16 sixes needed to complete a century and still 6 balls spare.May be the ground was small like we see in HonKong Sixers :))

Well 17 sixes, which just makes it even harder to do it, even against dross bowling.

But its still way way difficult to hit century in 22 balls, unless if he there was match fixing. I don't think those bowlers were that stupid to bowl balls that would go for 6 everytime.

Its the fastest century in the history of cricket, club, county, test, one day, everything, I dont believe how that idiot thinks its easy, how cocky is he?

mani pak and someone else

I think that its not easy too, but think outside of the bun, do you think the opposite team will bowl the way a batsmen want them too. After few sjpts upi cam figure it out what kind of shots that batsmen like.
