Bodyline - It's Just Not Cricket(2002)
"There are two teams out there... One of them is playing cricket, the other is making no attempt to do so."
"Bodyline", the word coined to describe a method of attack that involved bowling fast rising deliveries aimed at the batsman's head and body with a ring of close in fieldsmen on the leg side poised for a catch. Used in the 1932-33 Ashes Test Series, that pitted Bradman against Jardine and soured Anglo-Australian relations for years.
