What qualifies as a Wasted Talent?

International Captain
The rift between the Freemasons and the Catholics is well documented and a two-way animosity. Opening the batting, Fingleton used a bat that had been sprinkled with holy water by a Catholic priest. Upon his dismissal, Bradman entered the arena and, as they crossed, he said to Fingleton, "Watch what a dry bat can do."
Grimmet may have been 'dumb enough to embarrass Bradman' but Bradman wasn't averse to having his own jibes.
From memory Grimmett made his remarks in front of an audience and directed at Bradman's character. He belittled him in front of his team. Do you really think there wouldn't be consequences?
