Google doodle is celebrating 110th birth anniversary of legendary Australian cricketer Sir Donald Bradman by featuring an animated Bradman playing a glorious cover drive shot. Bradman is considered one of the greatest cricketers with a batting average of 99.94 in test cricket. He needed only 4 runs to achieve an average of exactly 100 but was bowled out for duck in his final innings by leg-spinner Eric Hollies. Bradman averaged one century every three innings in his 21-year test match career. He scored a total of 6,996 runs in 52 test matches.
