About this product

Product Information

A dramatisation of the 1932/33 Test cricket series between England and Australia. Played in Australia, the series gained notoriety in Australian and worldwide cricketing history for the fact that the English team applied a bowling technique called "leg theory", or more commonly, Bodyline. This technique involved bowlers bowling the ball directly at the batsman's body, and resulted in many of the Australian team receiving numerous bruises and injuries, with batsman Bert Oldfield sustaining a cracked skull. The series generated much anger and resentment towards the English team within Australia and seriously damaged Anglo-Australian cricketing relations at the time

Bodyline
Great story of the cricket Ashes matches between Australia & England when the famous 'Bodyline' bowling was used against Australia, especially Don Bradman, to stop him & the team from scoring runs against England. Douglas Jardine, the England captain, was an interesting tactician in the game of cricket. Bodyline is well worth seeing to absorb the story.
