was it a mistake?

David Warner's triple century puts him in rarefied air alongside some of Test cricket's greatest batsmen

i think it was an error to take that one extra run to beat bradmans record.

it would have set an example that australia respects the "Don' so much they want him to allways be number 1

of course someday there might have come a day when batting on was unavoidable to save a match or something but yesterday 1 run made no difference.

to have 3 men all with 334 runs, now that to me would show respect to the game and the man we say was the best of the best.

No it was not a mistake.

Bradman is the past, Warner is the present and cricketers like Marnus Labuschagne are the future. Lets go for Lara's record next. To infinity and beyond...

I believe it was only a record for Adelaide oval.

I think Mr Bradman still holds many records.

Just because Mark Taylor chose not to go past Bradman, doesn't mean that everyone should do the same.

As kopes said, it was just the record for Adelaide Oval. Many of Bradman's other records have already been surpassed, as will happen with any record over time.

Warner's not anywhere one of my favourite cricketers, but he should be applauded for his innings, not criticised, as he batted superbly.
