Nope. Bradman got his 452* in 1930, just 29 years before Hanif. Time for some clues I think.

Clue 1

He was an Englishman.

I read this somewhere. A record that took forever to break. I forgot it, it is somewhere in Cricinfo.

Fastests hundred in terms of time? This guy equalled it on his debut. They said it was a record held for a long time. 77 minutes or something like that. The guy who equalled it committed suicide...

I'm talking test batting average. You are right in saying that Don Bradman was Australian, but what's he got to do with it?

No, he played his last test in 1948. To make it easier, here's a hint: he scored 112 against England. That means there are now only 8 countries to choose from, as it can't be Australia or England.
