Bodyline: It’s Just Not Cricket
What the cricket world came to know as ‘Bodyline’ were tactics primarily used by the England Captain Douglas Jardine to curb the prolific scoring of the batting genius, Don Bradman. The bowlers used to spearhead the ‘Bodyline’ assault were the opening pair from Nottingham, Harold Larwood and Bill Voce. Bodyline: It’s Just Not Cricket draws on archival film, photographs and interviews with historians, writers and family members of some of the principal characters involved in the ‘Bodyline’ saga.

The Invincibles
