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.

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.
