What Australian cricketer who retired after the 1948 English cricket season and widely acknowledged as the greatest batsman of all time often referred to?
1948 English cricket season The 1948 English cricket season marked the final appearance in England of Don Bradman, who was shortly to retire. Bradman's team, which included Arthur Morris, a very young Neil Harvey, Ray Lindwall and Keith Miller, went through the tour without being beaten and became known to cricket's folklore as "The Invincibles". It was the 39th test series between the two sides which Australia won 4-0.
1925 English cricket season The 1925 English cricket season did not have a Test series and the focus was ostensibly upon the 1925 County Championship, except that proceedings were dominated by Jack Hobbs who scored a then-record 16 centuries and 3024 runs. Along the way, Hobbs equalled and then surpassed the career record for most centuries, previously held by W G Grace. "Wisden" decided to honour Hobbs thus: "the Five Cricketers of the Year are dropped in favour of one player, this time Jack Hobbs, in recognition of his overtaking W G Grace as the most prolific centurymaker of all time".
