Played in Australia, the series gained notoriety in Australian and worldwide cricketing history for the fact that the English team (headed by captain Douglas Jardine) applied a bowling technique called \"fast leg theory\", or more commonly, Bodyline. This technique involved bowlers bowling the ball directly at the batsman's body, and resulted in many of the Australian team receiving numerous bruises and injuries, with batsman Bert Oldfield sustaining a cracked skull. The series generated much anger and resentment towards the English team within Australia and seriously damaged Anglo-Australian cricketing relations at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“The day England declared war on Australia.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AGU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45929764126773,"sku":null,"price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0035\/4058\/2467\/files\/bodyline-sm_1ea0980e-c802-4bfc-a320-f3a50e037323.jpg?v=1787777916","url":"https:\/\/giddyupvideo.com\/products\/bodyline-1984","provider":"Giddy Up Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
