England fast bowling great Sir Alec Bedser dies

12:06 pm on 6 April 2010

The former England seam bowler Sir Alec Bedser, the last living player to have dismissed cricket legend Sir Don Bradman, has died.

He was 91.

Bedser dismissed Bradman six times, more than any other player.

He made his England debut against India in 1946 and took 11 wickets in each of his first two tests.

But he's most remember for the opening Ashes test of 1953, which became known as Bedser's test, when he took seven wickets in each innings
