Scorching pull shot down the ground, by Greg Blewett, naturally.

  1. Greg Blewett scored centuries in his first two Tests. I remember he bowled Sherwin Campbell in a Test match for 77 when Oz really needed a wicket. Handy cricketer.

  2. With all the talent in the world blewett failed because of a high backlift and because of this he was susceptible to yorkers and inswinging deliveries.

  3. Ah yes the time Australia had the 2 best teams in world cricket

  4. Bradman would have done great in any era and would probably have scored 500 at home to Bangladesh for extra icing on his cake, although he never padded his stats like Tendulkar or Kohli with cheap runs against weak opposition, when England toured Australia in 1994/5, Bradman was asked how many he would make against them as they were a poor side. He replied 50 or 60, the interviewer responded with, "But you Averaged nearly 100 in test cricket, and Bradman replied" I know I did, but I'm 86 years old now"

  5. This is hypothetical,the cricket of seventies and eighties were very challenging,In this challenges times viv was the best,take for instance if Don Bradman had scored 11 centuries and 23 hundreds would he would have been called greatest, absolutely no, nobody would have talked about it, because of great statistics he is still remembered but that is not the case with viv,viv is the real boss,no disrespect to bradman but this is the truth.

  6. Mastery of the fundamentals of the game. ALL technique serving ONLY to strike the ball to score runs. Steve Smith, Lara, Sobers and Tendulkar also do this.

  7. huh?! Thats a Bradman shot? We played this all the time in the tennis ball/rubber ball cricket back in the day. Any coach or senior player who saw it would scold us for the cross-batted swat that it was!

  8. I remember when Australia A and Australia were playing and lots of people started going for Australia A

  9. Greg Blewett could have gone down as one of the games greats but he loved cocaine more than cricket 😢

  10. Tell Don to face sizzling music from Carribean lads from 80's and 90's in their prime😂😂

  11. Indians believe Sachin is greater compared to Don Bradman. I believe Sachin is absolutely nothing in front of Don Bradman. ❤from Pakistan

  12. Blewy was hardly an underrated Aussie player given he played in almost 50 Tests with a reasonable average.He was also a decent stock medium pacer and an outstanding fielder who eventually became his nation's fielding coach.
    He also had an outstanding Sheffield Shield / first class career where he made around 50 centuries with a few doubles.
    He is also a gifted golfer and with as much applicaation to that sport as he did with cricket, cold have been a professional.

  13. Don Bradman faced medicore bowlers.
    If he played in the modern cricket era, he would be nothing more than average.
