No tour has ever been morecontroversial than the so called 'Bodyline' tour when Englandtravelled to Australia at the end of 1932.'Bodyline' refers to a cricketingtactic adopted by the English largely to counteract the incrediblebatting of Australia's opening batsman, Dan Bradman. Bradman hadalready scored an astonishing 974 runs in the earlier tour of Englandin 1930. A batting average of 139.14 and an aggregate total recordthat still stands to this day.Despite this incredible performance,English captain, Douglas Jardine has noticed that Bradman wasuncomfortable facing deliveries which bounced higher than usual at afaster pace and rightly or wrongly Jardine had begun to questionBradman's nerve.Jardine, together with his fastbowlers, Harold Larwood and Bill Voce formulated a plan to pitch theball short and fast at the leg stump. The effect of which would be todrive the ball up into the Batsman body if he failed to play a shot.Together with an inspired field placingJardine reasoned that this would curtail the batsman's offensivestrokes to standing and hooking, risking a catch on the boundaries orbeing hit on the head by the ball if they missed the hook. Notsurprisingly this highly aggressive tactic brought howls of protestin the Australian media and Jardine was widely pilloried. This wasnot helped by his own arrogant attitude and obvious dislike for allthings down under.England wonthe tour 4 1 to regain The Ashes but not before the tour hadbecome a full blown diplomatic incident between the two countries.That intense rivalry remains to this day.
