Don Bradman Scores 974 runs in a test series

Wally Hammond totalled 905 runs on the Australian tour of 1928-29.

 In the next Ashes encounter, Don Bradman broke that record and made 974 runs in the five-match series in England. 

 His scores read -

  • 8 & 131 at Trent Bridge, 
  • 254 & 1 at Lord’s, 
  • 334 at Headingley (309 of those on the first day of the match, another record), 
  • 14 in Manchester and
  •  finally 232 at the Oval. 


The closest anyone has come to breaking Bradman’s record is when Vivian Richards bashed 829 runs out of the same opponent in 1976.
