#2 Don Bradman: Melbourne Cricket Ground, 9 centuries

The Don's record at the Melbourne Cricket Ground tells an astonishing tale

Whenever international batting records are discussed and dissected, the name of the great Donald Bradman has to pop into the conversation somewhere along the way. His unquenchable thirst for runs and incomprehensible talent saw him set some incredible batting records, some of which may always remain unbreachable in the history of the sport.

His record at the Melbourne Cricket Ground tells an astonishing tale: 11 matches, 1671 runs and 9 Test centuries. For someone whose career batting average stands at 99.94, Bradman outdid even himself at the MCG, with a peerless average of 128.53 and the highest score of 270 in the 1937 Ashes.

His last match in Melbourne came against India back in 1948, where he captained the hosts to a victory by an innings and 177 runs. The legendary batsman also contributed 7 unbeaten runs with the willow in the game to cap an incredibly successful stint for him at the MCG.
