Bodyline
Dramatization of the England-Australia Test cricket series of 1932/33. The series, which took place in Australia, is remembered in Australian and international cricket history for the English team's use of a bowling style known as "leg theory," or more generally, Bodyline. Many members of the Australian squad suffered bruising and injuries as a result of this method, with batter Bert Oldfield suffering a fractured skull. The series infuriated Australians and severely harmed Anglo-Australian cricketing ties.
