A Forty Minutes programme 'There are two teams out there. One is trying to play cricket - and the other is not'. BILL WOODFULL , Captain of Australia, 1933.
The true story of the explosive 'bodyline' tour, told by some of the men who played through cricket's darkest hour. Among them is the man whose bowling changed the ethics of Test cricket forever - the former Notts miner,
HAROLD LARWOOD.
England's
Captain Douglas Jardine was elected to regain the Ashes at any cost. To defeat Don Bradman ,
Australia's record-breaking hero, Jardine unleashed
Harold Larwood , one of the fastest bowlers the world has ever seen. As Larwood's 'leg theory' battered the demoralised Australians, there were howls of protest from cricket lovers.
Was it cricket - or was it 'unsportsmanlike'?
