ICC leads tributes for Bradman



Thursday, August 28, 2008
NEW DELHI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) hailed Don Bradman as 殿 byword for brilliance・on Wednesday, the centenary of the cricketer痴 birth.

哲o name in cricket conjures up such widespread awe and respect as that of Sir Donald Bradman,・ICC president David Morgan said in a statement from the organisation痴 headquarters in Dubai.

摘ven people with just a passing knowledge of the game or in countries where he never played will invariably recognise the name Bradman as a byword for brilliance. 典hat name says all that is best about the game and it is synonymous with cricket,・he said. 鉄occer has Pele and cricket has Bradman.・br>
摘ven now, 60 years after his final Test match and with time to put his achievements into context, his batting average of 99.94 still seems scarcely believable, especially when one compares it to those of the many other players to have graced the game at the highest level,・Morgan added.
