Indian flag

The section on Test match performance uses {{cr|British India}} but from my reading of his career stats all his tests v India were after August 1947 so the section should use {{cr|Dominion of India}}; however this generates an error. Can anyone more familiar with {{cr}} fix this. Nthep (talk) 12:21, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Opposition to Apartheid?

To quote the article: "The major controversy of his second stint was a proposed tour of Australia by South Africa in 1971–72. On Bradman's recommendation, the series was cancelled."

That's seriously underselling what happened. Bradman not only cancelled the tour, he declared that the Australian team would never play against South Africa until they abolished apartheid. He even met with met with John Vorster, the then-president of South Africa. Moreover, that was the first major instance of a Western sporting organization declaring its opposition to apartheid. It deserves a lot more than a single line, and in the "controversies" section at that! 183.83.156.113 (talk) 07:37, 20 April 2019 (UTC)
