The Full Story of the Most Sensational Test Cricket Series.
The most comprehensive work ever written on the fast-bowling controversy of the 1932-33 Test Series.
England had the fastest, most accurate bowler in the world - Harold Larwood. Australia boasted the most prolific scorer of runs the game had ever seen - Don Bradman. He had to be stopped. The immovable object was about to be confronted by irresistible force.
The leg-side bouncer onslaught inflicted on Bradman and other Australian batsmen by Larwood and Bill Voce caused outrage. This infamous strategy became known as Bodyline, and it was ultimately outlawed in a lengthy and complicated process that touched the highest levels of Australian and British government.
'Bodyline Autopsy' offers in-depth insights into this fascinating subject.
