Bradman's Mount Everest of 99.94 Test Average

Before Sachin Tendulkar, measuring the level of the game for any batsman was considered to be the performance of the great Australian batsman Dan Bradman. Undeniably, this greatest batsman in cricket history had scored 6996 runs in just 80 innings of 52 Tests at an average of 99.94.

Had he not been out for 0 in his last Test innings, he would have averaged 100 runs. In Test cricket, this average is considered like 'Mount Everest', which is also impossible to touch. Such a big goal can be gauged that apart from Bradman, no batsman in the world has touched an average of 65 till date. If you consider at least 10 Tests as the scale, then only 6 batsmen in the world have crossed the average of 60.

Jim Laker's 19 wickets in a Test match

England's off-spinner Jim Laker set a record for taking 19 wickets in the 1956 Manchester Test match against Australia, which will never be broken. The guarantee of not breaking this record can be taken from the fact that any bowler will have to take all 10 wickets in both innings of a Test match.

To know how difficult it is, let us know that just twice in the 143-year history of Test cricket, bowlers have taken all 10 wickets in an innings. Once Jim Laker himself did this feat while taking 19 wickets, while the second time around 43 years later in 1999, Team India's leg-spinner Anil Kumble took all 10 wickets against Pakistan at Ferozeshah Kotla, Delhi.
