Don Bradman is probably more important to cricket that Babe Ruth was to
baseball (equally a cult hero; but most of Bradman's records in the game
haven't even been threatened, much less beaten).

Which probably doesn't explain why, in the 30s (the height of Bradman's
career), he released a 78 which had the spoken word "How to Score a
Century" (100 runs; & the Don certainly should know) on one side & a piano
performance on the other.  If i remember rightly (never guaranteed), it was
a movement from a Mozart piano sonata; but it was definitely a work from
the classical-period repetroire....

All the best,
