Who was the most feared batsman in the world of cricket? Have there been any instances where bowlers refused to bowl at him?

[Cricaza-prediction]

Sir Donald Bradman of Australia is widely regarded as the most feared batsman in the history of cricket. No other batsman has come close to Bradman’s 99.94 career batting average in Test cricket, which is almost double that of the next best. People say that through his total dominance of bowlers, they think he might have been solely responsible for the increased popularity cricket enjoyed during the Great Depression in Australia.
 

Bowlers often struggled to get Bradman out, with some even resorting to unorthodox tactics. In a 1938 Test match against England, leg spinner Doug Wright bowled a series of leg breaks and googlies to Bradman, who left each delivery alone without offering a shot. After a few overs, Wright resorted to bowling off breaks, at which point Bradman immediately struck him for four boundaries in an over. The story illustrates the futility that bowlers often felt when facing Bradman. Other batsmen who struck fear in the hearts of bowlers include: Viv Richards of the West Indies, known for his swagger and ability to dominate even the fiercest fast bowlers Sachin Tendulkar of India, the leading run-scorer in both Tests and ODIs with over 30,000 international runs Brian Lara of the West Indies, who held the record for the highest individual Test score of 400* for 6 years AB de Villiers of South Africa, renowned for his 360 degree batting and ability to score runs all around the wicket
