About this episode
Third of five part series featuring Great Ashes Test matches. Here Simon Hughes retells the dramatic story of the emergence of Australia's ritual destroyer of bowling attacks Donald Bradman, and England's dastardly plan to stop him. This of course was 'leg theory' - soon christened Bodyline' - perpetrated chiefly by Harold Larwood. It erupted into the incendiary Test match at Adelaide in 1933 that changed the game and intensified the rivalry of the Ashes like no other contest before or since.
