Adelaide, Jan. 24 :     Like father, like son. If Sir Donald Bradman arguably is the most private person around, no different is his only son John. 'How did you find me?' was how the younger Bradman, who changed his surname to Bradsen back in 1972, greeted The Telegraph this after-noon. Like his father, John is based here, and is a lecturer in constitutional and environmental law at the University of Adelaide. That query from John, a taller and leaner version of cricket's greatest batsman, was promptly followed by words of 'caution.' 'Look, I'm not giving an interview - I don't give any - so don't put anything in interview form...' Asked whether he had actually reverted to Australia's most famous surname, as was reported in the Media over a fortnight ago, John responded with a touch of irritation: 'That's ridiculous... It's been blown out of proportion and they (the Media) got carried away. In any case, I have nothing to say on what really is a family matter.' It does appear he remains John Bradsen. Indeed, the nameplate on his room (322) at the University still reads 'John Bradsen.' But, if he felt so strongly about that report, wouldn't he have been better off contradicting it? 'If I was to say something, that could lead to something else, and would go on and on... I just don't wish to interact with the Media on something that is very personal.' According to that report, John was introduced as 'John Bradman' during a recent commemorative dinner in Melbourne, marking the naming of Sir Donald as the Hall of Fame's male athlete of the 20th century. At the time of changing his surname, John had written a signed article explaining his position. It included the following: 'I'm tired of people 'discovering' who I am. I'm me. And, I am no longer prepared to accept being seriously introduced as simply someone's son. 'I am an individual and not a social souvenir. I was popped into a metaphorical glass cage, to be peered at and discussed, like the other exhibits...' Apparently John, a reasonably decent cricketer, 'experimented' with Bradenham before opting for Bradsen. Sir Donald's reaction, as beautiful as any of his innings, had been: 'Only those who have had to live with the incessant strain of publicity can have any idea of its impact... I understand and appreciate what John has had to endure, and hope his action will enable him to enjoy the privacy he seeks and which is his right.' John, incidentally, declined to talk about non-Bradman matters as well. But he did remark he had been to India. 'No, I can't recall the year... I spent time in Delhi, when I was returning home from England... Of course, I would like to visit India again.' Had he been following India's performances in Australia? John's 'guard' was up again: 'But, I'm not giving an interview...' However, he did let slip that the 'pressure on Sachin Tendulkar must be enormous.' Clearly, like his father, John has a soft corner for the Indian captain. As John, with a walking stick by his side, had to meet the Dean of the Law Faculty, our conversation - not an interview - ended. John, though, still had the last word, so to say: He politely declined to be photographed.
