Bradman batting in the dark

Don Bradman's run scoring feats on the 1930 tour of England is well known.
It is that series which established him as the best batsman in the world.
Back home, a particular group of Aborigines were mightily impressed by his batting.
When the radio cables came through with the scores, it was night time in Australia.
Bradman's 309 runs in a single day at Leeds made one Aborigine remark:
"If this plurry fella can score 309 runs in the dark, what he gonna do in daylight?"
