Rare Bradman video shows unofficial honeymoon tour
Some 'new' footage of Bradman playing during the 1932 tour of Canada has been released recently by the Australian National Film and Sound Archive.
It is about 13 minutes long with the best footage happening after the 6th minute mark. It features the best view of the great Arthur Mailey and Stan McCabe bowling we are ever likely to see, and of course Bradman himself. It is a shame that the action of each player is rather brief, but the camera is so close that we are to see quite clearly that most of the power in Bradman's shots came from the 'wrist-snap' of his bottom-hand.

Can we use this footage to check the size of the ground and to debate on any 3rd umpire run outs?
