Summary

Break during a cricket match between West Torrens and another team. West Torrens in the field with Don Bradman in pads drinking. According to a researcher, the person in the pads is the wicketkeeper. Bradman is not known to have kept wickets at any level of the game (schooldays may be an exception). This photo is possibly from the West Torrens Cricket Club vs Kensington CC match in October 1940 when Bradman resumed playing club games in the new season. He played for Kensington Cricket Club, so if the fielding team is West Torrens then it is hardly likely to be Bradman.
