Was the person who said it a team-mate of Bradman's in said match?

 

[stumpski]

They were opposing captains, so he can't have been a team-mate ... although they may have been in the Test team of course.

I'm not sure whether Bradman ever captained NSW before going to South Australia - was this during his time at SA?
