August 22, 1930, entered cricket history as the day Australia defeated England and won the Ashes series. In the match held at 'The Oval' stadium, Australia achieved an impressive victory, securing a 2-1 lead in the Ashes series.
The main hero of this victory was the great cricketer Sir Don Bradman. He scored an impressive 232 runs in the first match. It is worth noting that in that era, scoring 232 runs was considered almost commonplace for Bradman.
Throughout the series, Bradman demonstrated incredible attacking potential that is still remembered. He scored 131 runs in the first Test, 254 in the second, 334 in the third, and 232 at 'The Oval'.
In this series, Don Bradman scored a total of 974 runs, which is the world record for the number of runs scored by one player in one Test series. Furthermore, in this series, Bradman achieved 4 centuries, playing 7 innings.
This historic performance by Bradman played a key role in Australia's return to the Ashes and also served as another example of his greatness in Test cricket. The 1930 Ashes series remains one of the most memorable in cricket history.
International statistical data for the great Australian batsman Sir Don Bradman is also presented, whose career in international cricket (1928-1948) was limited only to Test matches.
