Don bradman in an alternate timeline

I have questions about the 1930 season which featured 18+ test matches on presumably a tour of England.

1) Did every county host one Test match each, or did the toffs at Lords hog half a dozen to themselves?
2) How many bowlers did England pick over the whole series? (you can round to the nearest 10)
3) Were the ticket prices any better?

Also, did the uber-Bradman of this universe overturn the English series victories in 1928-9 and 1932-33, or is this a universe where the likes of Hammond and Sutcliffe also received a bionic super serum and the timeless tests of the era simply lasted for weeks?

No only bradman received the super serum, others were the same.
Yes he did overturn the series victories in 1928-29 and 1932-33, with his sheer individual brilliance.

Btw do you think if bradman played only against the weakest teams of his era like india and south africa, he could have scored 6996 runs in 52 innings rather than 52 tests. With 10 to 11 not outs giving him an average of 170?

This is his FC career. Always some great itineraries:

These are Mike Garnham's Test numbers in an alternative universe where he was selected for Tests and also vastly better than his already great self.

Garnham, MA:
Tests: 122
Innings: 204
Not Outs: 24
Runs: 13,942
Average: 77.45
Caught: 327
Stumped: 22 (low because in this universe, England still had **** spinners other than Peter Such who didn't take up cricket, but instead would qualify as a Sociologist from the University of St Andrews and become one of the foremost social scientists of the late 20th Century. Most of these stumpings came from standing up to England's parade of medium pacers - particularly one GA Gooch)

Also, Suresh Raina never got an India cap.

As yes, that's a fun alternative universe.
