MJ Clarke of Australia went past DG Bradman’s aggregate of 4813 runs in Australia’s winning tests. Australia won the first test against West Indies at Roseau earlier this week which was the 61st test won by Australia with MJ Clarke as one of the cricketer in the playing Eleven. MJ Clarke’s aggregate at the end of this test read 4840 – 27 runs more than DG Bradman

MJ Clarke is on the threshold  of completing 5000 runs in Austrlia’s winning tests. He needs 160 more runs to achieve the feat. If he gets them , he would  then become the eleventh batsman to total 5000 plus runs in a team’s winning tests.
