REPLAY - Bodyline: the Ashes that sparked a global crisis - How It All Played Out
"If we don't beat you, we'll knock your bloody blocks off" In one of the most bitter and controversial Ashes series ever played, England set their sights on taking down Australian cricketing legend Don Bradman. Their method? A brutal, calculated strategy known as Bodyline - a tactic so aggressive it sparked outrage, strained diplomatic ties, and forever changed the spirit of the game. In this episode of How It All Played Out, Mark Pougatch and Paul Hayward take you back to 1932 - was Bodyline a genius strategy or just plain unsporting? And why did it cause such a deep rift between two cricketing giants? Remember to follow or subscribe, and give us a 5 star review too! We'd love to hear from you!
