Famous batsman, wicked fellow bagging runs (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bradman

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'famous batsman' is the definition.
'bradman' can be an answer for 'batsman' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'famous' bit.

'wicked fellow bagging runs' is the wordplay.
'wicked' becomes 'bad' ('bad' can be similar in meaning to 'wicked').
'fellow' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before**).
'bagging' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'bad'+'man'='badman'
'badman' going around 'r' is 'BRADMAN'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bradman that I've seen before include "34 [CRICKETER]" , "22 [FT SETTER]" , "Batsman" , "Sir Donald -, Australian test cricketer" , "Sporting legend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
