Some accounts mention that Bradman didn't like facing intimidating pace bowling. This is not particularly in regards to bodyline series. A number of English players and commentators noted Bradman's discomfort in playing the short, rising delivery during his 232 in Oval in 1930 series, Larwood mentioned:
"Our sole object was in curbing Bradman because we'd had this experience in 1930 with him; he absolutely murdered us. I think I had one for about 134 at Leeds, something like that. But the wickets rolled very, very slow, terrible slow, and the last time we played at The Oval, there was some rain got on the wicket and the ball was flying about, and I saw Bradman flinching. And I went to Jackson, at the other end, he played like a hero, (a big friend of mine, Archie was) but we all thought that Bradman was flinching. Well we thought, you may disagree, but we thought his leg-side attacking was very open to it. So we thought we'd all give it a go when we were out here, and we were successful with it. And then after we found out that other people were the same, one or two of them, so we kept at it."
Bradman being windy against quality pace bowling: myth or there is some truth in it?
This is a genuine question.
