In Australian Shield Cricket he did face Grimmet, ORielly, Lindwall, Miller, Johnston and
Bradman had a similar average. Grimmet / O'Rielly test record is every bit as good as Warne's, Lindwall, Miller where exceptional pace bowlers. In 1946 NSW had Lindwall, Miller and O'Rielly, that NSW attack would be better than most Test Attacks.
Lindwall described bowling to Bradman as an exercise in Frustration

You seem to be forgetting that none of the Australian bowlers bowled to Bradman.
Also he did not play in any England~SA, England~WI, England-India match's. Bradmans affect is going to be concentrated in the bowlers who bowled to him.

A simple rough calculation should give you the idea.

Bradman averaged 140 run per Test match. Australia probably lost around 14/15 wickets
per test match. This would mean that the first 9/10 (140 / 14 ~ 140/15) runs of a Bowlers average against Australia was purely down to Bradman. It is vertually impossible for a bowler to average 21 when one batsmen is taking 10 run's per wicket.

It may drop 0.7 overall but

• There would be no effect on Australian Test Bowling Averages
• No effect on average on England~WI, England~India
• The bradman effect is going to be concentrated in the bowlers who

Also England generally did not pick its best bowlers for match's against WI or India, they saved them for Australia.

For the top England Bowlers, match's against Australia (and Bradman) represented the a very large percentage of there career.

Australian Shield bowler like Lindwall / Miller Test record is as good as the mentioned bowlers and they did not pose any problems to Bradman in the Shield.
