Bradman's 1937 Ashes win from 0-2 down - ATG series performance?

[CoverDrive]

This talk of winning a series from 0-2 down led me to look at the scorecard of the 1937 Ashes where it has happened the only time yet.  The third match is extraordinary by itself. - http://www.espncricinfo.com/series/18436/scorecard/62643/australia-vs-england-3rd-test-england-tour-of-australia-1936-37

 

On a very difficult pitch Bradman famously reversed the batting order in the second innings and scored a big 200 from number 7 !! HE also scored another 200 in the second innings of another close 4th match before selling it with another big 100 in the last match. 

 

What a series as a captain and a batsman. I have no idea on the quality of the opposition or pitches but just by scorecard that is some ATG performance that rightly puts Bradman right at the top

That's called clutch performance. 

 

Agreed Bradman may or may not score well in this era but its a fact that he was so far ahead of others in his era (including ATGs of that time like Hobb),  which is why he is regarded as the greatest to have ever lived.
