Yes, well done :p

Written in Cardus' essay titled 'Bradman 1930' as seen in 'Faces in the Crowd' by Martin Flanagan which I found on the shelf and randomly flicked to a page on Cardus, Trumper etc.
Yes he wrote something similar about Bradman but compared him to Trumper, saying Bradman was a jet plane and one was an eagle.....

Might reverse the game and someone tell me the quote?

Bradman was the summing up of the Efficient Age which succeeded the Golden Age. Here was brilliance safe and sure, streamlined and without impulse. Victor Trumper was the flying bird; Bradman the aeroplane
