Bradman: What They Said About Him is a carefully curated portrait of Sir Donald Bradman told not in his own words, but through the voices of those who played with him, against him, reported on him, and studied his game.
Barry Morris assembles a wide-ranging selection of quotes, reflections, assessments, and anecdotes drawn from teammates, opponents, journalists, historians, and contemporaries across several eras of cricket. Together, these voices build a multi-dimensional picture of Bradman — the cricketer, the captain, the competitor, and the man behind the legend.
Rather than repeating familiar statistics, the book focuses on perception and reputation: how Bradman was viewed by fast bowlers he dominated, captains who planned obsessively for him, and writers who struggled to explain his sustained superiority. The result is an insightful and often revealing companion volume to Bradman’s own writings and formal biographies.
This work occupies an important niche in Bradman literature. It is not a standard biography, but a commentary-driven reference that complements classic titles such as Farewell to Cricket.
