A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT "BODYLINE”.

NEW METHODS EVOLVED TO
COUNTER BRADMAN
(By R. Abbit)
In writing a brief skotch of the 1932/3 visit of the M.C.C. team to Australia I do not propose to enter at length into the controversy over leg-theory bowling. It was a most unfortunate one and is now more or less over. I shall however have to describe the tactics as no history of the games would be adequate without.
